Our Story
The New Dawn Electric story is a combination of hard work, dedication, responsiveness, attention to detail, and a huge amount of faith and trust! In the beginning, Allan had 30 years of experience in the electrical trade and Kelly had 20 years of marketing and administrative experience in the health insurance industry. Two sets of complimenting strengths created a spark that would ignite into something so much bigger than either of them ever imagined.
This all just didn’t happen overnight. While their daughters were very young, Allan and Kelly decided to look for a church for them to grow up in. They found more than that though, they found Jesus in the process, or you may say, He found them. They both came to the Lord together and began their faith journey. So much was beginning to happen that blew their minds and going into business for themselves was one of them. Their community group, which they were a part of for 7 years, encouraged them to take a giant leap of faith and leave the comforts of working for others. This group helped and encouraged them to build a website, manage their finances, and combine their skills and strengths. New Dawn Electric was born! Allan was a Master Electrician and extremely knowledgeable on the technical side. Kelly brought her customer service and marketing skills, focusing on the people and the processes.
New Dawn opened its doors in Maryland in 2012 and they were off to the races for five years in a thriving and promising business. In their hearts they knew they were going to make their way back to the Bradenton/Sarasota area and were led to make that decision in 2017. Yet another opportunity to exercise their hope, faith, and trust, and start the business once again.
With passion, dedication, and unwavering commitment to excellence, New Dawn Electric creates a legacy of electrical expertise, leading the charge in innovation, customer service, and community engagement.
Fast forward to present day, NDE is a flourishing business and the need for electricians in our community is large. We have expanded from a residential service company to include Remodels, New Homes, and Pools. With ten vehicles on the road, most of our clients are word of mouth and repeat customers. Our reputation is based on our core values…by approaching every job with Quality Craftsmanship, a Passionate Spirit and a Helpful Heart. This statement truly captures who we are, what we do, and how we do it.
The rapid growth has been amazing, but it's so much more than that. Allan and Kelly are almost empty nesters now and have a work family of over 20 dedicated tradespeople and office professionals to do life with. We care about our employees and their families. Some do not have families, at least not nearby, and we make sure they feel supported and valued. We sponsor apprentices for education and training and are coming up with new ways to increase their professional development plans and goals. Together we have a lot of fun and share many laughs along the way.
Never did we imagine our ability to provide such a vehicle for the next generation to learn and grow in the electrical trade. We employ the very best and brightest technicians and they pour into the newer apprentices, mentoring them with the importance of proper technical knowledge and to have integrity in their work. We know where all of this comes from and we continue to strive to be true to Him, serve the community well and raise up the next generation of electricians. Our vision is to help save the electrical trade, which has experienced a deep decline in recent years. New Dawn Electric continues to make a way for those who have the passion for electrical work to be able to make a good living doing it, while at the same time, sharing their talents with our community. It is simply what we are called to do. Thank YOU, our valued customers, for joining us on this journey!
