## Story

**The U.K.’s leading electrical installation franchise has entered the Welsh market, as a local Abergavenny couple joins the Mr. Electric family.**

Founded in 1994, Mr. Electric now has a presence in several countries with over 200 locations worldwide. The brand specializes in the installation, maintenance, and repair of electrics, and provides a national service with local, hands-on coverage. The handy concept has now been brought to Wales, as the country’s first franchisees take part in Mr. Electric’s franchising success.

“We initially looked at several other franchises, but struggled to find a franchisor who made us feel confident that we would be fully supported to make our business as successful as possible,” said Michael Stewart and Tracy Yarnall, new franchisees. “That is until we found Mr. Electric! Not only do we know that we have the support of a dedicated team behind us, who are always there to champion our success, but we are now also a part of a network of franchisees who share our passion for the brand.”

The couple continued: “Joining Mr. Electric has given us the opportunity to be a part of a very exciting industry; particularly with the rise of electric vehicles and charge points, which we’re thrilled to bring to our local community.”

Mr. Electric is part of Neighborly, the world’s largest franchisor of home service brands, with a franchise network of over 3,700 franchisees worldwide. For first-time business partners, joining the Neighbourly family is a perfect introduction to this bustling industry.
