Our Founder

The late John O’Hanlon formed East West Connect in 1988 and was the driving force for the growth and development of the company from its early days as a specialist electrical sub-contractor and building the long term relationships with clients that still stand today.

John served his apprenticeship as an electrician with the Irish Navy before moving to London to form the company. John’s reputation within the industry grew and both his professional and personal contacts came to admire and respect his flexible and caring approach to both clients and colleagues.
Our Community

We believe that the most valuable benchmark that we can be measured against is that of our impact on future generations. As a company we support numerous charities, such as the House of St Barnabas, where we both donate to the charity, and sponsor individuals on their journey out of homelessness.

We currently proudly sponsor a local U8s football team as well as being “Star Supporters” of the Dennis Wise and Steve Frankham Charitable Trust, which provides new minibuses to disabled children’s schools across the UK.
