Williams Electrical was founded by Harley Williams in 1954 Harley was 26 at the time and had just resigned from Noyes Bros following a disagreement with the Manager. Harley thought he may as well have a go on his own.

Williams Electrical Service  came into being on 1st August 1954 from a garage in a block of flats in Nedlands with 100 pounds capital and a second hand van. The main steady stream of income in the early days was the internal wiring of fluorescent light fittings for Noyes Bros.

The company soon branched out into the electrical installations field with the first notable project being the complete rewire of the old City Mutual Building in 1955. The company steadily progressed with an increasing workload and new premises in Bulwer Street and then to its home for many years in Aberdeen Street Perth. Harley served as the Managing Director until June 30 1975 when Bruce Cook took on the role. Harley remained Chairman for a further 5 years until his retirement in 1980.

Bruce (who was a long term employee and an apprentice to Harley) further developed the company with other long standing Directors Keith Loveland and Arthur Webb. Unfortunately Arthur passed away in 2003. Under Bruce’s control the company had a serious growth phase and moved to new modern premises in Balcatta. This period of the company's growth was the start of the development towards the diversity of services that we offer today. Bruce served 20 years as Managing Director before handing the reins to Wayne Carter in 1995. Bruce remained Chairman for a further period of 5 years until his retirement.

Wayne Carter who also started his apprenticeship with Harley (1975) is still the current Managing Director and Chairman.
