Introduction
R Baker (Electrical) Ltd, proudly located at L24 9PB in Speke, Liverpool, has been a trusted partner in electrical engineering and transformer manufacturing since our founding in 1982. Bob Baker, our founder, built the business from the ground up on Speke Hall Industrial Estate. Today, we operate out of our facility on Evans Road, continuing a legacy of quality, precision, and service. Our commitment to providing expert electrical solutions, including custom transformers and rewinds, has made us a go-to resource for companies in and around Liverpool, Speke, and the greater Merseyside area.
Now under the leadership of Managing Director Gareth Baker, we remain dedicated to servicing our Liverpool roots and supporting industries across the UK and beyond. Our connections to local businesses and institutions, such as Merseyrail, Stadler Rail, Liverpool University, and Pilkingtons Glass, highlight our commitment to the Liverpool, Speke, and L24 9PB community.
Our Journey from Speke Hall Industrial Estate to Evans Road
Founded in the early ’80s by Bob Baker, R Baker (Electrical) Ltd started in Speke Hall Industrial Estate, a bustling hub for Liverpool’s industrial enterprises. Bob Baker recognised a gap in the market for high-quality, bespoke transformers, setting up shop to cater to the diverse needs of businesses and engineers across Liverpool and the surrounding areas. Over time, the company grew, necessitating a move to our current location on Evans Road, a convenient base from which we continue to serve the Speke, Liverpool, and L24 9PB regions.
As a Liverpool-based company, we are deeply rooted in the Speke area and proud to work with some of the city’s most prominent businesses and institutions. Today, Gareth Baker continues to lead our company in Bob’s tradition, focusing on providing reliable, in-house solutions from our facility at L24 9PB.
Expertise and Local Partnerships
Over the years, R Baker (Electrical) Ltd has become a trusted partner for numerous Liverpool-based companies and organisations. Through collaborations with key partners, we’ve supported infrastructure, research, and manufacturing projects across the Speke area. Our partnerships with Merseyrail and Stadler Rail allow us to contribute to Liverpool’s rail network, supporting infrastructure developments with our custom electrical solutions. Additionally, our work with Liverpool University facilitates research and academic projects, while Pilkingtons Glass, a Merseyside-based global glass manufacturer, depends on our expertise for electrical components essential to their manufacturing processes.
By consistently delivering high-quality and timely solutions, we’re dedicated to meeting the unique needs of each partner. Our comprehensive range of services, including transformer rewinds, custom builds, and repairs, ensures that Liverpool businesses and institutions can rely on our local expertise for their electrical needs.
