About Us
Trusted Electricians in Auckland
Over 70 Years Serving Auckland
BW Henderson Electrical was founded in Papakura in 1952 by Bruce and Marlene Henderson. In April 2024, the business was acquired by Chris French, a registered electrician with deep roots in the Auckland trades industry. Under new ownership, BW Henderson continues to deliver the same standard of quality electrical work that has built its reputation over more than 70 years.
We cover a wide range of electrical work including commercial, industrial, and residential. Our services span design, planning, project management, installation, and ongoing maintenance. Furthermore, while we work across the wider Auckland region, we remain strongly committed to South Auckland — the community where BW Henderson was built.
