Bender UK Expands Team To Strengthen Electrical Resilience Across Cumbria Industries

Bender UK, a leading provider of electrical safety and resilience solutions, has announced a major expansion of its specialist team as part of its strategy to strengthen industrial electrical infrastructure across Cumbria and the wider United Kingdom.

The move comes as businesses place greater emphasis on reliable power systems to support critical operations and minimise the risk of costly disruptions. The company, which operates from Low Mill Business Park in Ulverston, is celebrating its 30th year in business while its global parent company marks 80 years of engineering expertise. With more than 140 employees across Cumbria, Belfast, and Cambridgeshire, Bender UK is expanding beyond its established markets in rail, marine, healthcare, and oil and gas into manufacturing, energy, and infrastructure.

To support this growth, Bender UK has appointed Jay Harwood, Peter Boyle, and Jack Harrison to strengthen its industrial Uninterruptible Power Supply services. Harwood brings more than two decades of experience in UPS design and maintenance, while Boyle and Harrison will work directly with industrial customers to develop reliable power solutions for complex operational environments.

Managing Director Gareth Brunton said many industrial organisations continue to rely on ageing electrical infrastructure with limited backup systems. He noted that increasing demands on critical facilities have made resilient electrical networks and dependable backup power more important than ever for maintaining safe and continuous operations.

The expansion is also supported by continued investment in technical expertise, regional infrastructure, and a nationwide network of engineers who provide services ranging from system design and installation to ongoing maintenance and aftercare. The company says this approach allows customers to improve reliability while reducing the risk of unexpected downtime.

Bender UK said it plans to reveal additional growth initiatives later this year as it continues to invest in advanced electrical technologies. The company believes demand for resilient power systems will continue to rise as industries modernise their infrastructure and seek greater operational efficiency in an increasingly technology driven environment.
