A great way to start the year by reflecting on how we finished the last one. 🎉
Just before the Christmas break, the Drake Electrical team swapped hard hats for aprons and headed to the School of Wok for a well-earned change of pace.

What started as a cooking class quickly turned into a lively (and delicious!) team competition. Team Tim, The Breaker Bakers, went head-to-head with Team Bryony, Watt's Cooking, with both teams bringing brilliant energy, teamwork, and plenty of laughs. Congratulations to Watt's Cooking for taking the win! 🥢🏆

More than anything, it was a great opportunity to relax, have fun, and spend quality time together. We also cooked extra meals on the day to donate to a local homeless shelter, a small way to give back while doing something we enjoyed together.

The collaboration, trust, and positive spirit that power our work every day were on full display, exactly the kind of culture we’re proud to build and carry forward into 2026.

As our order book continues to fill up, we’re excited to welcome new talent to the team. If you’d like to be part of a supportive, motivated, and fun workplace, check out our current opportunities and apply via our website:

Here’s to an exciting year ahead! ⚡

19/12/2025

As we approach the Christmas period, we’d like to share our office opening hours over the holidays and take a moment to thank our customers for their continued support throughout 2025.

This year has been a particularly positive one for Drake Electrical. We’ve had the opportunity to deliver a wide range of projects, strengthen our systems and processes, and continue raising the standard of service we provide and that simply wouldn’t be possible without the trust and support of our clients.

Our office will be open until 4pm Christmas Eve and will remain closed on Christmas Day and Boxing Day. We'll be responding to emergency call-outs between 27th-31st Dec, closed on New Year's Day, and will reopen on 2nd Jan. During this period, emergency call-outs will still be available to clients on maintenance contracts.

We’d like to sincerely thank you for working with us over the past year. Your support is genuinely appreciated by everyone across our office and field teams, and we value the strong working relationships we’ve built.

On behalf of the entire team at Drake Electrical, we wish you and your families a very Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy New Year. We look forward to continuing our work together in 2026.

Festive regards,
Tim, Bryony, and the whole team at Drake Electrical
