Cal Services Company History and Experience

The company founders and Directors, Ken Jones and Richard Wood first met whilst employed at a local radio detections and wound components company locally in the Bristol area back 1987. Ken joined the company on the old Government YTS (Youth Training Scheme) so was trained from the very beginning and worked alongside Richard.

Ken progressed within the company, changing departments to Electronics and wound components then over to Radio Detection for further training on how to service and refurbish pre-owned equipment. Over the years Ken progressed further to Supervisor, Assistant Manager and finally Production Manager.

Company Formation of Cal Services in 2004

Richard and Ken continued to work closely with each other and forged a strong professional and personal relationship together. So much so, in 2014 after 17 years of being an employee, a business opportunity presented itself which was very appealing and took great consideration.

Anyone who is a business owner understands the planning, fears and excitement of being self employed and responsible for company overheads as well as personal finances, paying the mortgage and bills on time.

Cable Locators New Build and Maintenance

The business opportunity was in essence perfectly suited to the skills of Ken and Richard, involving identical work and procedures that both have excelled in. A local company PACT Services were seeking a company to manufacture cable locators from scratch, then offer servicing and repairs of the equipment as and when required.  Ken and Richard essentially started Cal Services from a large shed on private property.

14 Year Anniversary in 2018

Nearly a decade and a half later, the company has progressed in leaps and bounds, from an old lean to in a back yard to a purpose built facility with 6 employees in Productions and Sales / Administration, plus of course the original partnership of Ken and Richard.

Company Certification, Training and Accreditation

To be recognised as one of the leaders in their field, Cal Services has invested in many certifications with big name manufacturers in the industry including TomKat, Lyca avoidance equipment and is an authorised partner EasyCat Series the cable detection company.
