| 57 CONTRACTING Clarke Automation Consultants South Auckland-based electrical irm Maximum Electrical has strengthened its leadership to prepare for its next phase of growth. Founded in 2000 by director Max Cossey, the company has built a reputation for tackling complex electrical challenges across industrial, commercial and residential sectors. Now, with the recent appointment of business partner James Hood to the directorship, it is sharpening both its technical and managerial focus. “From a technical point of view Max has a huge amount of experience allowing him to further focus on supporting the wider team and technical delivery. I will focus on management support in order to grow the business,” explains James. The company delivers a wide range of services including electrical engineering, installation and maintenance, industrial plant servicing, automation and control systems, instrumentation, inspections and audits and renewable energy solutions such as solar installations and EV charging for industrial, commercial and residential clients. It also provides 24-hour call-out support, project management and technical ield services, enabling it to support clients across the full lifecycle of electrical systems. “Clients come to us with a problem and we ind solutions, then undertake that journey with them,” says Max. “Being able to provide a well-rounded range of experience and knowledge is what allows us to deliver the best outcomes.” This problem-solving approach has also underpinned its collaboration with Clarke Electrical & Automation, a company it works alongside on plant upgrades and automation projects across the country. Clarke Electrical & Automation typically Smart electrical solutions leads design and system integration while Maximum Electrical provides the on-site electrical installation, panel modi ication, commissioning support and practical delivery required to bring those systems into operation. A recent project involved the upgrade of specialised machinery used in the manufacturing of yacht sail cloth, a highly technical process. Working within tight timeframes during plant shutdowns, Maximum Electrical carried out control panel modi ications, disconnected and recon igured existing equipment, installed new wiring for motors and control systems and completed livening, testing and commissioning to bring the upgraded plant online. “Clarke Electrical & Automation has been a pleasure to work with and there is an excellent synergy of skills and experience,” says Max. “The client was very happy with the outcomes on this project.” The company’s breadth of capability is further re lected in its accreditations.
