Boardman Transformers Ltd | About Us

Boardman Transformers was established in Manchester 1955 by Ralph Boardman, father of Martin, the current Managing Director. The company operated from here for nearly fifty years before relocating to Cumbria in 2002, firstly to Coniston before expanding to the current premises in Ulverston, North West UK.

Throughout, Boardman Transformers has kept true to the original goal of designing and manufacturing power transformers, control transformers and wound products to our customer’s exacting requirements. An independent company, we are very proud of the reputation we’ve earned from over sixty years of making quality-built transformers that deliver exceptional performance (many of which distributed under the popular “Inlec” brand name).

Martin Boardman has been at the helm of the company since 1994, having worked under his father since the age of 18 (aside from a career break working as a boat-builder), with Ralph’s grandson, Paul, the third generation working within the family business.

Customer service continues to be key to the ongoing success of our business, along with:

• ability to react quickly to customer requests;
• a company-wide ethos of high standards in manufacture;
• being competitive on price, both for UK and international customers;
• a commitment to investing in manufacturing equipment, including advanced automated CNC welding, winding and processing machinery;
• investing and developing the skill-set of our workforce;
• operating a lean and efficient manufacturing model;
• meeting and exceeding recognised quality standards;
• reliability and consistency in everything we do.

This ethos also extends to supporting our clients, our distribution partners and their customers to ensure they get the best service from Boardman Transformers and the products which bear our name.
