History

Pitts Wilson Limited was formed by the amalgamation of two long standing Bradford based Electrical Contracting Businesses – Pitts Electrical Limited and W D Wilson Limited.

The two Companies operated as separate businesses until 1997 when W D Wilson was acquired by and became part of Pitts Electrical Limited at that time the Company name changed to Pitts Wilson Electrical Limited, later dropping the ‘Electrical’ reference with a view to adding a Mechanical capability which is now fully in place.

W D Wilson can trace its trading history back to 1910, when it was established to take advantage of the change towards electrically driven machinery in local Mills. The Company was incorporated on the 11th July 1947.

Mr John Fyfe Wilson, the son of the founder, was a Fellow of the IEE and was awarded an MBE in the New Year’s Honours List published on the 30th December 1989.

He sat on the Wiring Regulations Committee that wrote and introduced the 15th Edition of the IEE Wiring Regulations his name is enshrined in the front of the Publication.

W D Wilson were one of the founding members of the Electrical Contractors Association (ECA) in the early 1900’s and is one of only a handful of those original members that is still in existence today

Pitts Electrical Limited was established in 1954, by David Pitts (originally named David Pitts & Holt Limited). David Pitts developed the business from the 50’s through to his retirement in the 90’s at which point ownership passed to his Son in Law. Who continues to be the majority shareholder today.

David Pitts was the National President of the ECA in 1979/80. He played a major part in settling trade disputes through the uncertain times of the late 70’s and early 80’s, he is recognised as a fellow of the Association and is mentioned in the Associations publication ‘The First Hundred Years’.
