Why This Nomination Means So Much To Your Local Electrician
There are moments in business that make you stop for a second.
Not because of turnover.
Not because of growth.
Not because of awards.
But because they remind you why you started in the first place.
Recently, MKW Electrical Contractors was nominated for Electrical Business of the Year North East.
When we first heard the news, there was excitement throughout the team. But what made this nomination truly special wasn’t the title itself.
It was how it happened.
The nomination came from one of our clients.
That simple fact means more to us than any trophy ever could.

Built Brick By Brick
When Matt Ware started MKW Electrical Contractors, there was no grand masterplan.
No huge marketing budget.
No fleet of vans.
No office team.
No awards in sight.
Just a commitment to doing things properly.
One client at a time.
One job at a time.
One recommendation at a time.
Over the years, that approach has never changed.
Whether we’re carrying out a small electrical repair in Whitley Bay, a full house rewire in Tynemouth, an EICR for a landlord, or a commercial installation for a local business, the goal remains exactly the same.
Turn up when we say we will.
Do what we say we will.
Leave the property better than we found it.
Treat every client with respect.
More Than Electrical Work
People often assume that being an electrician is about wiring.
In reality, it’s about trust.
When somebody invites you into their home, they’re trusting you with one of the most important things they own.
When a landlord asks us to look after their property, they’re trusting us with their investment.
When a business calls us during an electrical fault, they’re trusting us to keep their operations moving.
The wiring matters.
The testing matters.
The certificates matter.
But trust matters more.
That trust has allowed MKW to grow from a small local electrical contractor into a business trusted by homeowners, landlords, letting agents and commercial clients throughout Whitley Bay, Tynemouth, North Shields and the wider North East.
The Team Behind The Nomination
No award nomination belongs to one person.
It belongs to every member of the team.
The engineers who arrive early on dark winter mornings.
The electricians who stay late to get a client back on with power.
The office team who answer calls, organise schedules and keep everything moving behind the scenes.
The trusted suppliers and partners who help us deliver projects every day.
And perhaps most importantly, the clients who continue to recommend us to friends, family and colleagues.
Without them, none of this would be possible.
What We’re Most Proud Of
Over the last year alone, we’ve:
- Completed hundreds of electrical inspections and EICRs.
- Helped homeowners modernise ageing electrical systems.
- Supported landlords with compliance requirements.
- Delivered full rewires and renovation projects.
- Expanded our team.
- Invested in training, systems and client experience.
But the statistic we’re most proud of isn’t measured in pounds or percentages.
It’s the number of clients who come back.
And the number of clients who recommend us.
That tells us we’re getting something right.
Looking Forward
Winning an award would be fantastic.
There’s no point pretending otherwise.
But the truth is, this nomination has already achieved something important.
It’s reminded us that people notice the effort.
They notice the communication.
They notice the standards.
They notice when tradespeople genuinely care.
As we continue to grow, our ambition remains simple.
To become the most trusted electrical contractor in the North East.
Not through marketing.
Not through gimmicks.
But through consistently delivering the level of service our clients deserve.
Thank You
To every homeowner, landlord, business owner, letting agent, supplier and supporter who has been part of our journey.
Thank you.
You’ve trusted us with your homes.
You’ve recommended us to friends.
You’ve left reviews.
You’ve supported local business.
And you’ve helped build MKW Electrical Contractors into what it is today.
Whatever happens next, we’re incredibly proud of how far we’ve come.
And we’re only just getting started.
