Yes, hire a Turfteq Trencher, Nearest place I know is Tadley near Reading : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-75W227QVw.
For the gravel bit, you'll likley need to 'scrape' a path clear of surface gravel first. We've used one to lay irrigation pipes.
Failing that, a full-on Trencher would work - most Hire Shops would have access to one or be able to cross-hire into their location.
Just seen Gary's comment - also look at a whats called a ditch witch machine. All depends how much slack you have in the cable but should do the job. I think Arbour Landscape Solutions hire one out or you may find one locally...
Sounds like a knightmare!
Jason at Never Ending Fencing ( Salisbury) I believe has a trenching attachment for one of his machines, his machine may or may not be suitable for a typical garden environment but he may know a solution for a small mobile diy option locally if you are needing to do it without another contractor getting involved

Geo Ripper had a stand at Saltex which caught my attention, basically a very substantial chainsaw which will set you back several grand, so not something to buy without work lined up for it.

goodness - if you thought a GTA26 was a danger 😳...
Not the GTA26 again..... 😂😂
Geo Ripper do a trolley attachment, so you can stand well back :-)
humans have a second hand that can be used to steady a GTA26 if you're weak-limbed 😂👍
the cables should be bured at least 600mm deep with a 50mm sand covering round the cable then warning electric tape 75mm above the cable
if you are using a machine check there is no other servis cables or pipes befor you start and it might be worth doing a sketch plan of where the cables are for future refrance
it seems like the sparky has left the hard work for you
