Our History

The year it all started with husband-and-wife team Paul and Jane Hawkesworth!
Based in Thirsk, North Yorkshire, Hawkesworth Appliance Testing was established. In the same year, Paul landed our first ‘major’ client, NHBC, and our story of growth began... NHBC are still with us today.

Moving on to bigger things...
After five years, Hawkesworth had outgrown Paul's home office! We moved into our very first corporate office, which was based in the heart of Thirsk, just off the marketplace.

Moving to a new Headquarters, close to the heart of our town.
After a successful number of years and becoming firmly established in the electrical appliance testing industry, Hawkesworth were ready to take the next step. Hawkesworth labels started making appearances in film and TV (albeit in the background), but a welcome sign of growth of our presence across the nation!

Hawkesworth has grown to achieve the milestone of 100 team members!
A significant step forward in our mission to provide the widest and most established network of engineers in the UK.

Having firmly cemented our authority in the PAT testing industry...
Overwhelming demand came from our clients to expand our services, because they wanted us to handle more and more of their requirements. We took the first steps in expanding our offering to the range of services that we deliver today, expanding from solely electrical safety to cover fire risk assessments.

After years in service and expertise accumulated in our field...
Hawkesworth were proud to become an industry representative for the IET Code of Practice 5th Edition. This means we ensure that the utmost care and attention is delivered to our customers and the rest of the nation.

Ten years on from celebrating 100 team members...
We were incredibly proud to reach over 200 team members carrying the Hawkesworth banner – a sign of our continued growth and success.

In our pursuit of offering the best and most comprehensive service...
Hawkesworth take the significant step in starting to move further afield, establishing networks and securing clients beyond the borders of the United Kingdom.
