Electrical and automation for Auckland homes and businesses.

About MBE

MBE is a family-run electrical and automation company in Hobsonville. We work on homes, shops, offices and venues across Auckland, with our own electricians, apprentices and an automation manager.

Matt Bennett runs it. He got the top mark in New Zealand in his final exams, and he still puts himself and the team through the latest courses and regulation changes.

The MBE team

“In 2019 we bought our first house. It was a do up and needed lots of work. Friends gave us Matt’s number, and right away he was on the case doing plans and giving us the right advice.”

“We were so comfortable with Matt and his team we gave him his own set of keys. He is not just another trades person we use. He has become a good friend and a member of our family.”

Nicholas Adrian, homeowner
