One person, one van, two trades.
PPE Services Limited is Phill Palmer — a registered electrician with over 25 years in the trade, based in Te Aroha.
Meet Phill
Twenty-five years on the tools, and his own name on the van.
Phill Palmer has spent over 25 years in the electrical trade. Most people around Te Aroha know that side of him as Reactive Electrical — the kiwi and the atom. PPE Services Limited brings it together with Fix It Phill, the handyman side, so one tradesperson can finish a job that crosses both.
It is a one-person business by design: the person who answers the phone is the person who does the work, and he is a registered electrician. Community-minded and customer-focused are his own words for it.
Track record
A quarter of a century in the trade. His own company since 2025.
Dates from the Companies Register and from Phill’s own posts, still public on Facebook.

A registered electrician who also does the rest of the job.
PPE Services is two branches under one roof — Reactive Electrical and Fix It Phill. One person, one van, one number. A job that needs both trades doesn’t need two tradespeople.
