THE SEARLE HISTORY

In 1923 Dan Searle began an electrical contracting firm in Santa Cruz. After a few successful years,
he moved the company to Monterey . By 1937 there was a crew of seven wiring the mansions of
Pebble Beach, as well as performing motor work and wiring Cannery Row.

By the time the sardines disappeared there was a crew of nineteen, and work had expanded beyond
the canneries to accommodate the changing needs of Peninsula business. Light industry and commercial
development assisted in the continued growth of Searle Electric.

In the 70's Searle incorporated, and Dan Searle Jr. and Joey Rogers joined the firm as vice-presidents.
They added considerable dimension to the company's abilities, each having had many years experience
in planning and wiring such diverse projects as water treatment facilities; major department stores;
regional shopping centers; hospitals; waste water facilities; large pumping plants; service stations and
much more. Today Dan Searle Jr. is the sole owner and runs all phases of the company with the help of
an excellent staff and foremen.

In recent years Searle has completed many sizeable, demanding projects. Searle is an Lutron Lighting
certified dealer. Computerized estimating and office equipment, along with financial stability and an
experienced and efficient staff have contributed to the companies' enviable reputation and to its capability
of handling large, multi-faceted jobs smoothly and accurately. Searle Electric today continues to expand
and prosper.
