The History before Fifields
How it Started
Fifields Electrical Services began in the early nineties, operating from a small office in Crediton. As the company expanded, it added plumbing services and completed work for clients such as Flybe, Buckingham Palace and Devon County Council.
In 2003, Daniel and Julie moved the company to Exeter, where they both worked from Pinhoe. Within three years, the company expanded and needed to find new premises to grow further. Premises were found on the Marsh Barton Industrial Estate, which was occupied in 2006. In 2011, a building company was established within Fifields due to the previous years of success.
Since 2014, Dave has been the Managing Director of Fifields and has played a significant role in establishing the company's outstanding reputation. We thank the entire Fifields team for their unwavering hard work and dedication to this present day.
