The Henderson tradition started in 1919 when a young entrepreneur by the name of Harry Henderson organized
Henderson Electric Company to supply products and equipment to the emerging electrical contracting business in Louisville, Kentucky. Throughout the roaring twenties and the depression era of the thirties, Henderson Electric Company transformed its electrical supply operation into a full service electrical contracting business. In 1924 Henderson joined NECA, the National Electrical Contractors Association and is still a member today. The tumultuous events of World War II and the need for expanding industrial capacity helped establish Henderson Electric as a prominent local electrical contractor with the potential of performing complicated projects in a timely, cost efficient manner.
By the mid-fifties Henderson maintained a solid position as one of the capable electrical contractors in Kentucky by completing such projects as the Kentucky Fair and Exposition Center, major projects at G. E. Appliance Park, and a major retrofit project at International Harvester’s Farm Machinery foundry and manufacturing operation. In 1960, Henderson opened an office in Lexington, Kentucky to better serve the rapidly growing central Kentucky market. Within a few short years, this office was managing some of the largest projects to date for the University of Kentucky and the Commonwealth of Kentucky, in and around Frankfort, the state’s capital.
In 1986, Henderson opened a field office on site of the construction of the new automotive assembly plant owned and operated by Toyota Motor Manufacturing in Georgetown, Kentucky. Due to our involvement in the construction of this large facility and the resulting relationship with Toyota, we have established a permanent presence on-site. Today we continue to service Toyota, as well as other customers, from our Georgetown office.
As the company’s customer base continued to expand with large customers who maintained operations in diverse geographic locations, the need for a strategy to continue to offer quality service emerged. Partly as a solution to this need and partly as a way of preparing the company for management succession, Henderson Electric Co., Inc. merged with five other prominent national electrical contractors in 1998 to form Nationwide Electric, Inc. (NEI). However, nearly a year later in November 1999, NEI was purchased by a large publicly held Canadian corporation by the name of Bracknell (TSE: BRK) to serve customers throughout North America. We serviced our customers as Henderson Electric Co., Inc., a Bracknell Company.
Bracknell, and its entire North American operation, was affected when the construction and telecommunications market started to dramatically slow down in 2001. By November of 2001 Bracknell Corporation had collapsed and ceased to exist. On December 1, 2001 the Henderson management group repurchased the assets of Henderson Electric Company, Inc. and began operating as Henderson Services, LLC. The name change reflects our new marketing strategy. We are a company that is now a provider of many other services in addition to traditional electrical construction.
Henderson has embraced changes without losing sight of the tradition of quality performance and a passion for customer service. That tradition continues on today marking a major milestone, 100 years of service. For Henderson the 100th anniversary is about honoring the past and celebrating the future. We believe that its’ founder, Harry Henderson, would be proud of the continuing tradition that still bears his name. Today’s leadership remains focused on these same ideals, along with embracing the use and implementation of technology to provide world-class performance in all aspects of our business.

Commitment to “diversity” has been a continuous effort on the part of the management of the company by assisting with the development of employees, businesses, and vendors, through the cooperation of many organizations and major customers such as Toyota Motor Manufacturing Company.
We believe continued growth toward a more inclusive culture is necessary for business success. Our customers, business partners, and employees should see themselves represented in our workforce, in the communities, and in the organizations we support.
As a major electrical subcontractor in the local construction industry, Henderson Services has developed working relationships with our labor partners – IBEW, NECA and the JATC to promote the development and employment of minority electrical workers. Our owners have personally participated in mentoring two minority union electrical contractors in recent years as further evidence of our commitment to diversity.
In order to promote the use of qualified electrical suppliers in our industry we have established a strong relationship with several women and minority owned business enterprise (WMBE) companies. Henderson has been recognized as one of the leaders in the construction industry in its use and development of minority firms.
SCHOLARSHIP
Commitment to “scholarship” was firmly in place when both third generation owners became college graduates of the University of Louisville (U of L) in the 1970’s, one from the College of Business and the other from the Speed Scientific School (now the current J.B. Speed College of Engineering). Both owners have been and are now active alumni of U of L. Henderson Services is very committed to promoting higher education and giving back to the University and making a difference in the quality of education in this community.
Following are a few examples of the financial commitment made on the part of the owners and the company:
- Rodney and Bruce Henderson established the “Henderson Electric Industry Fund” in 1997 for scholarships in support of students who are seeking an electrical engineering degree at Speed School. The scholarships are limited to graduates from high schools within Jefferson County.
- A significant commitment was made in 2009 towards the renovation of the existing Kersey Library into the Duthie Engineering Center. A classroom bearing our name is utilized for the purpose of teaching fundamental engineering courses to incoming freshmen.
- In 2010, as part of a new $750 MM capital campaign for the entire university, Henderson Services once again made a significant pledge to J.B. Speed School of Engineering to enhance engineering education.
Our continuing commitment to personal involvement is shown by participation on many UL boards and committees on campuses in a continuing effort to improve the quality of education for our future leaders in the numerous colleges that make up the University of Louisville.
Henderson Employee Advisory Team
Commitment to listening and employee development led us to the concept of HEAT. The life blood of any company is contained in its future leaders. HEAT was created to encourage employees to begin thinking about a possible career path for the future, which would involve becoming a part of the management team of Henderson Services. The upper management of Henderson Services hosts periodic meetings with the employee advisory team. These employees are nominated by their piers or supervisors and include electricians, technicians, or administrative and support staff. The agenda for HEAT meetings is designed to raise issues that are relevant not only to the industry, but which also specifically effect the operation of Henderson Services.
These issues and subjects include safety, productivity, human resource topics, strategic planning sessions and more specific themes, such as where to hold a company function for all employees, what charities should the company be supporting, what additional training and education does the company need in order to improve the execution of our work. HEAT has an opportunity to learn about industry and company financial realities and goals. Input from HEAT helps management focus on problems that are occurring in the field that may not have had time to filter up to management. This allows Henderson to adjust policies and procedures which enable the company to be more attentive to customer demands, while giving employees a forum in which to become stakeholders in the company.
The quality of our employees has been a Hallmark of Henderson Services. In order for the company to continue attracting these quality people, it is important that we offer ways for our employees to become active, impassioned advocates for Henderson Services. HEAT facilitates our employees having a voice in our operations. This encourages a loyalty and commitment – two powerful expressions of success.
