In The Beginning
Mr. Byrd and C.H. Dennis Sr. 1947


     Dennis Electric, Inc. (formerly Byrd Electric) is a family owned and operated business that began in Memphis, Tennessee, August 1947. R. M. Byrd, a native Memphian, originally founded the company in 1930. In 1945, Charles H. Dennis, Sr. began working for the company and two years later, he became a partner with Mr. Byrd. In 1950, Mr. Byrd died and the Dennis family purchased his share of the business from the Byrd family.


     Currently, DEI operates two offices. The corporate office is located in Memphis, TN with a second office in Rogers, Arkansas.

     In the Memphis area, DEI performs electrical maintenance work for hospitals, office complexes, retail stores, churches, schools, data centers, restaurants and clubs. Our service trucks are on 24 hour call and available for emergency situations. If an installation is required “after-hours” while the facility is closed or during a specific window of time, we will gladly accommodate. 

     Our function in our Arkansas office is primarily to support our work with the world’s largest retailer. DEI has performed electrical work for them since 1985. That work includes service to the data centers and various office buildings as well as the local stores.

     Dennis Electric, Inc. has come a long way from its modest beginning. While the minor details have changed through the years, the Dennis family has retained ownership. Today, Charles H. Dennis, Jr. and his children Robert M. Dennis, Susan Dennis Crawford, John C. Dennis, Phillip A. Dennis and Cole H. Dennis are stockholders in the corporation. Each of them also holds an active position working with the daily operations of the corporation.
