At Specified Contracts Limited (SCL), we take immense pride in our dedicated electrical installation and design team, which has flourished over the past three years.
Since embarking on this journey in 2021, we have established a robust capability that positions us as leaders in the electrical market, delivering high-quality services across diverse sectors.
The Foundation of Our Team
The journey began when Russell Stilwell, a partner at SCL, returned to hands-on work after 15 successful years at RSE Building Services. Faced with the challenge of rebuilding a team from scratch, Russell was soon joined by his brother and Alex Osborn, forming the foundation of what would become an exceptional electrical team.
Key Projects That Showcase Our Expertise
1. World Darts Championships Lighting
Our team’s first major project was the lighting installation for the renowned World Darts Championships at Alexandra Palace. This project involved a complete rewrite of the ice rink lighting and power systems, as well as the replacement of the electrical mains infrastructure in the BBC Tower. Completed under a tight timeline from July to September, this project was a testament to our capability to deliver under pressure. The successful execution not only impressed our clients but also garnered recognition within the industry, paving the way for future opportunities.
2. Leicester Square Collaborative Project
Following our success at Ally Pally, we embarked on a unique collaborative project in Leicester Square. This fast-track fit-out was SCL’s first model of collaborative working, delivered to high specifications on time and within budget. This project exemplified our commitment to quality, time efficiency, and cost-effectiveness, establishing a reputation that attracted further demand for our services.
3. CEMEX Testing Lab Facilities
Expanding our portfolio, we undertook a full electrical installation for CEMEX’s testing lab facilities. This project required meticulous planning and execution to ensure that the lab met stringent operational standards. Our team successfully delivered a comprehensive electrical system that supports advanced testing processes, further solidifying our reputation in specialised environments.
4. Towngate Theatre
We also completed a significant project at Towngate Theatre, where we replaced the stage lighting and power systems. This upgrade not only enhanced the theatre’s functionality but also improved the overall experience for both performers and audiences. Our commitment to delivering high-quality electrical solutions was evident in the precision and care taken during this project.
5. Data Centres
In addition to these projects, we have worked on various data centres, where we installed Building Management System (BMS) controls and provided electrical supplies to mechanical equipment. Our expertise in integrating complex systems ensures that these facilities operate efficiently and reliably, meeting the high demands of today’s technological landscape.
6. Expanding Capabilities
Since then, our electrical team has expanded its offerings, taking on a diverse range of projects. Today, we are equipped to design, install, and maintain intricate electrical systems across the UK, serving clients from prestigious tennis tournaments to major theatrical productions.
7. Leadership and Team Structure
Our team is led by experienced professionals, including Nicholas Bird and Alex Osborn, both SSSTS supervisors and approved electricians. They are supported by Ben Brooker, also an approved electrician, and Joe Beckett, who serves as an approved electrician as well. The team also includes Kieran Dawkins, who is nearly qualified, and apprentice Alfie Lawler, ensuring a blend of expertise and fresh talent that contributes to our overall success.
8. Exceptional Client Base and Feedback
We have cultivated an impressive client base, which includes local councils, Premier League football clubs, data centres, and the theatre sector. Our commitment to quality and safety has earned us excellent feedback, with clients praising our collaborative approach and positive attitude.
