Central Power Services - Four Decades of Power Expertise and Personal Service
Founded in 1986, Central Power Services has spent over 40 years building a reputation as one of the UK’s most respected power solutions specialists. From its beginnings as a privately owned business to its current position backed by the Foresight Group, the company has remained focused on reliability, expertise and personal customer service.
Based in Lancashire, Central Power Services has long specialised in the supply, installation and maintenance of emergency standby power systems. Over the decades, the business has become a trusted partner for organisations across the UK that rely on dependable power support in demanding operating environments.
A History Built on Trust and Expertise
Since its inception, the company has focused on delivering practical power solutions with speed, professionalism and care. That approach has supported steady growth from its early years into a well-established name in generator hire, sales, servicing, parts supply and fuel management.
For much of its history, Central Power Services operated independently - building long-standing customer relationships and earning a reputation for hands-on service and accountability. That independence helped shape the company’s culture - responsive, knowledgeable and easy to work with.
In 2023, the business entered a new phase of development through a strategic partnership with the Foresight Group - enabling continued investment and long-term growth while preserving the values and personal service customers expect.
The success of Central Power Services has always been driven by its people.
Leadership and Direction
In 2025, Paul Dove joined Central Power Services as Chief Executive Officer - marking an important new chapter as the company approached its fourth decade in business.
With extensive experience across operations, commercial strategy and performance improvement, Paul has helped sharpen the company’s focus on people, service delivery and long-term resilience - ensuring Central Power Services continues to evolve while staying true to its roots.
People at the Heart of the Business
The success of Central Power Services has always been driven by its people. Many members of the team have been with the company for many years, bringing deep technical knowledge and a strong understanding of customer operations.
This continuity allows the business to build genuine, long-term relationships with customers - knowing sites, equipment and people by name. When customers call, they speak directly to experienced professionals who understand their requirements and can act quickly.
Dependable Support, 24/7
From planned generator installations to emergency standby support, Central Power Services delivers dependable power backed by proactive maintenance, fuel management and a 24/7 response. This hands-on, personal approach has helped the company earn long-term trust across construction, infrastructure, events and commercial sectors.
Looking Ahead
As Central Power Services moves into its fifth decade, the company remains focused on what has always mattered most - dependable power, trusted relationships and responsive service.
With a strong history behind it and continued investment in people and capability ahead, Central Power Services is well positioned to support customers for many years to come - delivering power solutions with experience, care and accountability.
