Atkins Electricians

was established in 1951 by Keith Frederick Atkins, a 33 year old electrician who had completed his electrical apprenticeship with Johns & Waygood Lifts and then spent years in Mount Iza working in the mines as an electrician. As his family grew larger, he decided it was time to work closer to home. He opened an electrical firm, which was run from his Gardenvale home just outside of Melbourne. Years went by and the Atkins Electrical service made its footprint. One out of six of Keith's sons, John, decided to follow in his Dads footsteps. 10 years later, another son Mark joined the business.
