Foden Electrical & Engineering Services was established by Ken Foden and ran from a yard in Institute Road, Kings Heath (now the site of the tyre garage)! Major works included wiring of houses, factories and schools in Coventry when it was rebuilt following the blitz of WW2. Lighting showroom opened at 6 High Street, Kings Heath, overseen by Ken's wife, Doreen Foden.
The family lived in a flat 'over the shop'. Andrew Coleman (the current owner) started work with Foden's as a 'Saturday lad' in the shop. The business was bought by Ken and Christine Bilbrough (including the 'Saturday lad'!) and became Foden Electrical and TV Services. It became Foden Electrical Contracting and moved to its current location at 294a Haunch Lane, Kings Heath.

When we moved into our house, we wanted assurance that the electrics were all sound. We were able to arrange a time for a member of the team to come and inspect the house to see if anything needed doing. It turns out that the electrics in the kitchen were unsafe so it was imperative that we got this sorted as soon as possible. A member of the team explained what needed doing and why; I found them to be very genuine and trustworthy – which is very important as I don’t know anything about electrics!
As well as sorting out the electrics in the kitchen, we also asked Foden to install a waterproof

We have used this company for the past five years for all the work on our buy to let properties, varying from a full re-wire to an extra socket. The electricians alerted us to a potential asbestos issue, for which we were very grateful. They are professional and safety conscious whilst still being friendly and helpful.
