Our People & History
Founded in 1986, Central Power Services has built nearly 40 years of industry experience and specialist knowledge, becoming a trusted name in generator sales and service. For most of our journey we operated as a privately owned company, before joining forces in 2023 with leading UK investment group Foresight, a move designed to accelerate our growth and strengthen our position in the power sector.

"Our early vehicles"
In 2025, we entered an exciting new chapter with the appointment of CEO Paul Dove, a confident and creative strategist with a proven record of driving business growth. Paul brings fresh energy, vision, and expertise across commercial strategy, sales and marketing, finance, operations, and performance. His leadership is the perfect fit as Central Power Services moves into its fifth decade of outstanding service.
