Mike Penfold

Director

Mike founded Switchboard Solutions and has been in the switchboard manufacturing industry for over 55 years. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience in switchboard systems and switchgear and is well-known and respected in the industry.

Whilst semi-retired, Mike is still available to discuss switchboard issues and requirements. As a registered electrician with a registration number containing only four digits, we think this proves his experience ….or age! In his spare time, Mike can be found on his boat fishing, diving or spearfishing.
