Penguin Electrical was founded by Brad McDonald, who made the move from Tasmania to Perth in 2013. In a fitting twist of fate, Brad’s hometown — Penguin, Tasmania — would later inspire the name of a business built on hard work, trust, and exceptional service.
Brad quickly became one of Perth’s most sought-after electricians, recognised for his professionalism, meticulous work ethic, and unwavering commitment to client satisfaction. His trademark? Leaving every worksite cleaner than he found it — a small but powerful reflection of his core philosophy: respect for people, property, and quality work.
As of 1 July 2025, Penguin Electrical proudly enters a new chapter under the ownership of Marten Wells — a long-time team member who brings years of hands-on experience and deep industry knowledge. Like Brad, Marten also grew up in Penguin, Tasmania, making the business name more than just a coincidence but a shared origin story and a symbol of the values both men carry with them.
Now based in Perth and a proud dad of two young boys, Marten is committed to continuing the legacy of quality, care, and reliability that Penguin Electrical is known for. With a strong focus on safety, energy efficiency, and honest workmanship, he and his family are proud to lead the business into its next chapter: helping homes and businesses across Perth stay powered, protected, and connected.
