AN electrical contracting firm which relocated to Oldham earlier this year is celebrating 40 years in business — and a boost in work.

BS Entwistle Electrical Contractors, which started life in 1972 in Bolton and has gradually established itself across the North-West, transferred all its operations to premises in Fields New Road, Chadderton in January.

Since the move the company has picked up a significant amount of new contracts, many with major PLC house builders.

The company has expanded its workforce by about a third to satisfy demand.

Director Barry McLoughlin, who has been with the firm for 10 years, said: “The past few years haven’t been easy but we have remained resilient and continued to provide a quality service.’
