CF Roberts was founded in Hereford in 1935, as electricians and retailers of electrical appliances. The CF Roberts of today provides comprehensive electrical and mechanical design, installation and maintenance services for projects throughout the UK. Today, the Company employs around 270 people and is still growing. There is still a base in Hereford, but the company expanded into new headquarters in Cheltenham in the 1970s.
This is still very much a family business. Cyril Roberts founded the Company and was succeeded as Chairman by his son Michael. Grandson Paul is the Managing Director.
The Roberts family has built the Company since the 1930s by consistently demonstrating an attitude of professionalism, quality, reliability and, above all, integrity. It is a simple philosophy but one that remains at the heart of the modern multi million pound company that is the CF Roberts of the 21st century.
