As the year draws to a close and a festive spirit begins to sparkle across the island, it is a wonderful time to reflect on community and collaboration. For one local family business duo, this sentiment was beautifully illustrated at a recent event that showcased the perfect blend of their expertise.
Matt Howell of Electrical Solutions Lanzarote was commissioned for a full property rewire and lighting installation for clients who had just purchased a new home in Lanzarote. With the house empty, Matt had the ideal window to dedicate to this significant project, ensuring a complete top to bottom renewal of the electrical systems, indoor and outdoor lighting, and sockets, all without disrupting his schedule for regular call out clients.
Upon completion, the delighted client, Clare Galvin, wanted to express her gratitude. She decided to host a thank you event for all the local tradesmen who had contributed to transforming her property. Knowing Matt’s wife ran a catering business, she reached out through him to enlist some culinary help.
Enter Nerina Howell of Event and Catering Solutions Lanzarote. With the brief to create a relaxed, generous spread for the hard-working team, Nerina crafted an elegant selection of platters, including a sophisticated charcuterie meat board and a beautifully presented local and continental cheese selection. The result was a delicious tribute to the island’s tradespeople, including familiar faces like Rhys from Monster Radio (flooring) and Alex from Lanzarote Investments (property).
The event was such a success that Matt and Nerina were not just suppliers, but guests of honour, sharing in the celebration. This story perfectly encapsulates their family business ethos: two independent services that so often overlap to provide a seamless, trusted experience for clients on the island.
A Spark of Inspiration for Your Plans
For Matt, this project was a reminder that while his main focus is responsive electrical call outs, he can accommodate larger installation projects with careful planning. His reliable, friendly service is why clients trust him with their homes. As the darker winter evenings draw in, Matt is also helping many residents prepare for the season by installing outdoor sockets for Christmas lights and outdoor heaters and additional exterior lighting.
For Nerina, the request for her plentiful platters has confirmed a growing trend. Moving into the new year, she will be expanding her offering to include these stylish sharing platters, perfect for gatherings that call for something special.
As you look ahead to 2026, whether you are planning a property project, need a trusted electrician for maintenance, or are dreaming of a perfectly catered event, consider the Howell family.
