Who we are
We’re a global distributor of electrical products and solutions.
Our story
We formed in 1987, based out of a small industrial unit in Southampton (UK). Our focus was electrical distribution to local businesses. We’ve experienced considerable growth over the past 37 years. We now employ over 300 people in over 20 offices worldwide, catering to multiple markets. We partner with an extensive network of quality and trusted electrical manufacturers across the globe. Having access to such a diverse product range, which often exceeds safety standards, means that we can provide solutions for all electrical needs.
We supply the complete scope of electrical products from cables to lighting, containment, and much more. Our electrical knowledge, coupled with extensive supply chain management expertise, also extends to bespoke solutions, major project delivery, export management, MRO supply contracts, and value-added engineered solutions.
Entering into a strategic partnership with Niedax Group in 2021 means our family is now bigger, with a collective 65+ locations across the globe.
We pride ourselves on providing our clients with tailored supply solutions that lower their supply chain costs, and increase efficiency, making electrical product supply and installation better, smarter, and safer.
Local presence, global reach
We have a team of electrical industry experts located in over 20 offices around the globe, we continue to grow and aim to further establish ourselves in new regions and markets.
