About SFE – Wellington’s Trusted Electricians

Founded in 2014 by Dean Skipsey, Silver Fern Electrical was built on the goal of raising standards in Wellington’s residential and commercial electrical industry. Dean’s vision quickly took shape, and within months, Richard Cowley, a licensed electrician and inspector, joined as co-founder.

Over the years, our team has grown steadily, bringing together a group of dedicated professionals. Dean remains passionate about solving complex on-site challenges, while Richard manages site visits, pricing, and administration. This balance ensures every client benefits from both hands-on expertise and smooth project management.

With decades of combined experience, we serve a wide range of clients — from homeowners and business operators to property managers, builders, and developers. Our reputation for being approachable, professional, and thorough has been shaped by continuous client feedback and successful projects across Wellington.
