Cullys has a successful record as an Electrical Contractor, our team of experienced staff can deliver innovative solutions to meet your needs
Cullys is a proudly Western Australian-owned company with a legacy built on hands-on expertise, adaptability, and decades of experience in the electrical and marine industries. Under the leadership of Director Tom Cull, Cullys has grown from a one-man operation into a respected, multi-disciplinary business servicing the recreational, commercial, and defence sectors.
Director and Founder
Tom Cull, founder and director of Cullys, is the driving force behind the company’s long-standing reputation for excellence in electrical and marine services. His journey in the industry began by taking over his father’s outstanding jobs within his own business, Yokine Electrical Services, where he took on residential electrical work and developed a strong foundation in the trade.
Tom’s entrepreneurial spirit emerged soon after, leading to the formation of Cullys Electrical Service in partnership with a colleague. This venture laid the groundwork for what would eventually become today’s Cullys. Deciding to move on from the partnership, Tom parted ways to join his brother Brian Cull at Cullys Yamaha, servicing motorbikes and expanding his hands-on mechanical knowledge.
Seeking new challenges, Tom later transitioned into the maritime sector by joining ASI (now BAE Maritime), where he gained significant experience working on complex marine and defence systems. This period proved instrumental in shaping his expertise and future business direction.
Tom later seized the opportunity to buy back the original ‘Cullys Electrical Services’ business, becoming the sole owner and director. He redirected the company’s focus toward marine maintenance on pleasure craft, applying his extensive knowledge from the defence sector. As the business evolved, so did its name—to ‘Cullys Marine Electrical’, and later to simply ‘Cullys’, to reflect the addition of mechanical and generator services.
Through every chapter, Tom has remained committed to quality, service, and delivering practical, future-focused solutions for clients across Australia.
Down Memory Lane
Before establishing Cullys in Henderson, the business had its roots in Fremantle, where growth and opportunity quickly took hold. What started from the back of Tom car, and then a shed in his backyard, soon expanded as demand increased. With a small but capable team of three staff and a new Cullys truck, the backyard setup was outgrown.
In 1987, Tom leased Cullys’ first official workshop on King William Street, just 200 metres from the Fremantle Sailing Club. As the business evolved and began securing more defence-related projects, Tom expanded further, leasing a second shed just two buildings down on the same street to accommodate the growing workload.
Toms team and business continued to grow, with the 18 years spent located in Fremantle laying the foundation for the strong reputation and capabilities Cullys is known for today.
