Steve Crook
ESTIMATOR
#fhtogglels/Read Full Bio/Close/ib
I have been an Electrical Engineer for 36 Years since leaving school. I left school and went into an apprenticeship with an M&E company so learnt all about plant rooms and mechanical controls. Following completion of my apprenticeship I moved around jobs as a self-employed electrician working on various sites and places around the south . I became an approved electrician after completing my inspection & testing qualifications. I have worked as a solar P.V. installer and all the general electrical installation works with large panel boards and distribution being my favourite element. I spent 1 year working as an air source heat pump engineer and travelled the country installing them, including works from Scotland to Cornwall. I worked my way up to a site supervisor before becoming a Contracts Manager and now have a new role as an Estimator and advisor for Bradbury Electrical. When I’m not working, I spend my time on the golf course at Singing Hills or holidays with the family. My twin boys are now starting to support themselves and I’m proud of them and their work ethics that we have passed on. I’m looking forward to the next step with Bradbury Electrical and where we can go together.

Pat Tobin
SENIOR CONTRACT MANAGER
#fhtogglels/Read Full Bio/Close/ib
I have been involved in the Electrical Industry for 38 years now, starting my apprenticeship after leaving school in 1986 with a respectable family run business in West London and had many years experience working at Heathrow Airport, working my way up to supervisor. Following a couple of years of travelling some of the world, I came home and branched out on my own, sub-contracting some fairly large projects to various electrical and fire alarm companies in London for 25 odd years, which eventually led me to also achieve my BAFE accreditation, of which I am very proud, before moving to Brighton and eventually joining Bradbury Electrical nearly 2 years ago, where I have been very happy, as it has a family feel and reminds me of where I started as a 16 year old. Away from work I enjoy watching football, rugby and GAA, as well as spending as much time as I can with my gorgeous wife, kids and grandkids in our little place in Spain topping up my olive Irish skin... and having a few beers!

Simon Baker
CONTRACT MANAGER
#fhtogglels/Read Full Bio/Close/ib
I have been in the Electrical Industry since leaving school in 1988. I had a varied apprenticeship with a M&E company where I was lucky enough to learn most aspects of electrical installations. Since completing my apprenticeship, I have added inspection and testing to my qualifications and became a NICEIC qualified supervisor in 2007. I have worked my way up from site operative to site foreman and then moved to a more managerial roll in becoming a Contracts Manager. In 2024 I joined Bradbury Electrical as a Contracts Manager and look forward to working with the team. Outside of work my time is spent enjoying it with my friends and family which includes a lot of time with my two grandsons. I have started playing walking football for a bit of exercise although some would say that I only ever played football at a walking pace.

From Our Clients

"Bradbury had been recommended to us. The service we received from them has been excellent and very professional from the electrical engineers Darren and Dan who have carried out the onsite certification and the subsequent remedial works. They both went above and beyond at the last site visit as there was an issue relating to UKPN, they stayed until it was resolved even though they had already been here all weekend Also Dave in the installation team in the office in sending out the quotations on time and arranging suitable attendance dates for a busy industrial business center."

“We have worked with Bradbury on numerous Commercial & Domestic projects for many years now, those individual schemes ranging from £250k up to £4.5M. Regardless of the type of work, the challenges presented or the responsibilities bestowed upon them, their teams have always performed to ensure the highest level of quality and utmost professionalism. Their positive attitude to dealing with the rigours of fast changing and ever moving targets in a proactive, rather than just reactive manner sets them apart from others.
