Brad started out as an apprentice electrician at an air conditioning company, and it didn’t take long for him to fall for the work. After completing his electrical apprenticeship, he went further and earned a dual trade qualification in refrigeration mechanics, giving him a skillset that would later become the backbone of BG Electrical & Air Conditioning.

Eight years in the trade, with a straightforward goal to do good work and treat people fairly, made the next step obvious: go out on his own and build a business that treated people and their homes with care.

That dual trade background turned out to be a real point of difference. Brisbane summers don’t forgive a dodgy installation, and too many homeowners were being let down by operators who didn’t have the electrical expertise to back up their AC work. Brad did, and that’s what made BG a genuine one-stop shop from day one.

Since then, Brad has built the team carefully and deliberately, training everyone with the same attention to detail and respect the job demands. Today, seven trucks are on the road Monday to Friday, operating out of BG’s own commercial base. 

But ask him what he’s most proud of, and he’ll tell you it’s simpler than that: a job done right and a customer who comes back.
