About Leicester Switch & Control – Leicester Switch and Control

Leicester Switch & Control Co. Ltd started in 1971 with a mission to become the best in class provider of control panels, automation control, M&E installations, testing and inspection. We are fully qualified engineers with specialist knowledge and skills gained from experience in a wide range of industries. Our dedication to customer satisfaction and aftercare enables us to deliver premium quality solutions that are guaranteed to meet our customers’ needs and hit the optimal cost/performance targets. We are based in Rothley, Leicestershire, and we provide full UK coverage.

Since forming from the assemblies division of BPX, Leicester Switch and Control have traded independently and worked closely with other members of the BPX group. BPX is now over fifty years old and proud of our private ownership. Despite spectacular growth, we retain the agility, responsiveness and service quality of an owner-managed business, backed by the strength and influence that comes from being one of the largest independent distributors in the UK. Our owners are involved closely in the day-to-day running of the businesses, so we can react rapidly to changes in the market and specific customer demands. It’s not unusual for a good idea in the morning to be implemented by the afternoon.

Whatever your Electrical Control Panel needs we have the in-house expertise to design from scratch a system to match your application needs or to build bespoke panels to your existing requirements. Our highly skilled engineers and panel builders are vastly experienced within the industry.

We have a clear set of values that all of our employees should own and live by.

Be Caring

We take pride in what we do and we care about our customers, our people and the world around us.

Be Challenging

We are not afraid to constructively challenge each other and ourselves to find a better way forward.

Be Trusted

We can always be trusted to deliver on our promises.

Be Responsive

We seek new ideas and understanding and are quick to react to opportunities.

Be Tenacious

We get things done.

Own It

We get things done.

These values guide how we make decisions and shape company policies and practices, influencing both individual employee behaviour and organisational culture. The right values have to resonate with our behaviours. They need to reflect what we genuinely believe, and what we actually do. Our aim has therefore been to identify those values which all employees are able to live by and own.
