About Us
Local. Trusted. Community-focused.
Proudly Powering the Manawatū for Over 48 Years
At B&M Electrical, we’ve been at the heart of the Manawatū community since 1979 — that’s over four decades of delivering trusted, high-quality electrical services across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors.
From fixing everyday electrical faults in homes to supporting large-scale commercial and industrial projects, our experienced team has built a reputation for reliability, workmanship, and integrity. No matter the job, we bring the same commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction.
Community Is in Our DNA
Community isn't just something we work in—it’s something we’re deeply part of. Since day one, supporting the Manawatū has been woven into our business values.
We’re proud to have been long-time supporters of; Local schools and kindergartens, Community events and festivals, Regional sports teams and clubs and Cultural and creative community groups. We are proud to have powered the Manawatu Relay for life for the past 24 years since it began in 2001.
We believe in helping the people and organisations that help make our region a vibrant, connected place to live.
Giving Back with Purpose
We see it as our corporate and personal responsibility to give back to the communities that have supported us for over 48 years. Whether it’s through sponsorship, community volunteer days, or sharing our skills where they’re needed most, we're committed to making a positive impact — not just as electricians, but as proud locals.

Backing Local
Proud to Support Our Community
At B&M Electrical, giving back isn’t a tagline—it’s part of who we are. Whether it’s supporting regional sports or lighting the way for charity, we’re here to make a difference in the communities that have supported us since 1979.
B&M Arena
At B&M Electrical, we’re incredibly proud of our ongoing partnerships, including holding the naming rights for the B&M Arena on Pascal Street. This iconic facility is a cornerstone of sport and recreation in the region, and we’re honored to be associated with a venue that supports hundreds of sporting codes and thousands of participants year-round.
Each week, the B&M Arena welcomes a steady flow of locals and visitors engaging in sports such as basketball, netball, badminton, and tennis, as well as fitness and community activities. Beyond sport, the Centre also serves as a key hub for major corporate and community events, including the prestigious Manawatū Sports Awards Dinner.
Our partnership reflects more than just a name on the building—it represents our long-standing relationship with the Arena team and our commitment to supporting active, connected communities in the region we call home.
Relay for Life – Lighting the Way for a Cause
For 24 years, B&M Electrical has proudly supported the Relay for Life in Palmerston North—a heartfelt and inspiring event that raises vital funds for the Cancer Society and honors those affected by cancer.
Every year, our team donates time and expertise to power this special event. We:
Provide and manage power to the main stage for performances and announcements
Install and operate track lighting from dusk till dawn, ensuring the safety of participants throughout the overnight walk
Our involvement goes beyond logistics—it’s about being part of a powerful community effort that brings hope, remembrance, and resilience to life. We're proud to stand behind this cause and contribute in a meaningful way to an event that touches so many lives.
