Since its beginnings four generations ago as an electric motor and transformer rewinding business, the company has moved into the supply of new and refurbished power and distribution transformers, HV and LV switchgear and all manner of associated products and services.
Proudly designing – and crucially still manufacturing – here in Britain, where our expertise and cutting edge engineering are world renowned, Bowers Electricals boasts a prestigious list of clients from across the public and private sectors. The team has worked on projects everywhere from small industrial developments to major infrastructure schemes including large scale power stations, government buildings, hospitals, schools and universities, wind and solar farms and throughout the heavy power engineering industry.
Still managed day-to-day by the Bowers family that set it up, the company is now part of the Bowers Group of Companies.

Site installation, testing, commissioning and project management
Bowers Electricals
can provide you with a full turnkey package including design, manufacture, overhaul, refurbishment, installation, testing, commissioning, maintenance and after sales support – all from one single group, using our experienced engineers.
"There are several suppliers of transformers in the UK but we wanted a company that offered three things – quality, reliability and, of course, customer service. Bowers supplied high-quality equipment on time and with professional installation as well as the customer service. "
Super-compact and highly efficient, Bowers’ new Eco Transformers range is fully compliant with new EU Commission Regulation 548/2014. The legislation, which relates to small, medium and large power transformers, means that all new units put into service from July 2015 onwards must comply with strict minimum energy efficiency requirements.
Managing director Michael Bowers says: “The new Ecodesign directive is part of the EU’s 20-20-20 aim and could result in savings of approximately 16TWh a year – or a staggering 3.7 million tonnes of CO2 emissions – by 2020. Transformers like ours can make a real difference to the EU’s energy consumption and as a business we’re very excited to be leading the field in terms of new technology.”
Farmer enlists Bowers to help create zero carbon farm and £200k income
A FARMER who turned to Bowers Electricals in order to reduce his electricity bills has described the move as one of his “best decisions ever”after seeing a return of £200,000 a year.
Andy White, who runs a pig farm near Grantham in Lincolnshire, commissioned Bowers to install a wind turbine which is producing enough energy to not only power his 600 acre business, but two neighbouring villages.
The turbine, which was part of an £800,000 investment by the green-thinking farmer, has been generating 830,000kWh a year since its installation at Frinkley Farm in February 2012. Thanks to the Bowers BEST Range Low Loss transformer and switchgear that it was commissioned alongside, Mr White is able to sell the electricity he generates back to the grid at 26p per unit, under feed-in tariff rules.
Michael Bowers, managing director of Bowers Electricals, added: “We were faced with very tight time constraints on this project and because of the different elements it was quite a complex job but the team ensured everything went according to plan and it was a great scheme for us to project manage. Our work has not only made a real impact on Andy’s bills but on the environment, which is a win-win result.”
