O'Brien Electrical Innisfail

While we were away (and winning local awards), we also celebrated 20yrs in business in the electrical industry. Many name changes - and now in Innisfail - our principles remained the same - honesty, reliability and integrity. Thank you to all that have supported us over the past 20 years - customers, staff and suppliers.

I remember the day this happened. We had not long owned our Electrical Business and our kids went to the school. A huge reality check for us is that never take for granted that all electrical installations are compliant and safe. Over time - any installation can become compromised. All people (not just electricians) should isolate power before entering on or in a roof space.

Happy International Women’s Day to our two Operational Staff, Kath & Trish. Where would our techs be without their planning and guidance! A quote that recently came from another female leader in a technical industry stated:

International Women’s Day is a reminder that leadership doesn’t always begin with a grand plan. Sometimes it begins simply with saying yes to responsibility, learning relentlessly, and building something dependable over time.”

This rings true for both these ladies and they put so much effort into making things right - so we congratulate and celebrate them today and always.

Phones have switched over to holiday mode. Staff have left the building and we will see you from 5th January 2026. Thanks to all those who have supported us this year, and thanks to our wonderful team for their commitment to customer care and safety. Our industrious leader is now recovered from his injury and we will be back Bigger and Better next year.
