Our Story

Together, Richard and Chris have successfully trained over thirty apprentices who have gone on to become qualified tradesmen and women, contributing to the growth and success of our Auckland electrical company. Today, French Electrical continues to serve the Auckland community with a wealth of experience and a commitment to quality workmanship.
