Stowe is celebrating 100 years of service excellence in 2010.
The company’s origins date back to the advent of the electricity industry in Australia when Francis Bell and George T Stowe incorporated the company in 1910. The company was purchased by two senior foremen Bert Madson and Sam Bogen in 1934.
Today Stowe Australia is Australia’s leading privately owned electrical and communications contracting organisation with annual revenues of approx. $340mil and 1,400 direct employees.
The ownership and helm of the company has been retained through three generations (75 years) of the Madson family with David Madson the current Executive Chairman and Chris Madson the current Managing Director.
Underpinning and driving the success of the company over this time are two fundamental business objectives:
“To build and maintain a satisfied customer base through superior quality service with fair dealings based on trust and respect.”
“To create long term relationships with customers, suppliers and most importantly its employees.”
