This is only a brief summary and cannot itemise all the twists and turns of R&B Electrical (Skipton) Ltd through its 36 years of business.

No job has ever been considered too large, or too small.

• The company has always reflected the changing fortunes of the local area. In the 70's and 80's, much of the local electrical work centered on the cotton, quarrying, bedding and brick plant industries. During this period these industries provided the core of our work and we had long associations with Kilnsey , Threshfield, and Pateley Bridge quarries, with tarmac plants at Skibeden and Halton East (where we installed much of the electrical equipment still in use today). Our association with Edenhall Concrete Products, we installed brick and concrete production plants  the length and breadth of Great Britain. We also had a long association with Silentnight Ltd particularly centered around Barnoldswick manufacturing plants and also there Sealy plant at Aspatria.
• The decline of these traditional industries in the 90's saw a shift in our core business. We did however continue our association with local industry, carrying out electrical installations for a new machine tool facility at Rolls Royce in Barnoldswick and also the design and installation of the electrical systems at the new Skipton Auction Mart site and Peter Clark Autos now Skipton Ford Garage, We have also worked on many Yorkshire Water, fresh and waste water sites.
• Following our clients requests and an increase in demand R & B Building Services was formed in 2003 offering a one stop shop for all Mechanical and Electrical requirements from small domestic properties to schools, offices and large industrial units utilizing fully qualified and up to date trained operatives
• Much of our work is now centered on school refurbishments and steel portal frame buildings as traditional businesses downsized and we are pleased to have worked with many local and national contractors including JN Bentley Ltd, R.N Wooler Ltd, Lotus Construction, Turner Construction, Bovis Lend Lease, Strata Group, Mitie Group.
• Along with good working relations with local authorities and public bodies including:- Craven District Council, Skipton Town Council, Bradford Metropolitan Council, North Yorkshire County Council , Airedale Health Authority, Harrogate Health Authority and  Yorkshire Water

Since its inception in 1971 by Jack Robinson & Roy Bibby, (hence R & B) and it's incorporation in 1972, the company has been the leading force in electrical installation in the Skipton and Craven area.

It is a testament to the quality we offer, that 70% of our electricians are "in house" trained, having joined the company from school and gaining a vast wealth of experience over the many years of service.
