What is an Electrical Wholesaler?

Electrical wholesalers sell the products we all use in our homes, businesses, entertainment venues, cafes that give us access to electricity - from lighting our homes through to floodlighting a football match, from recharging a mobile phone to recharging an electric vehicle. The products you will be working with are used in domestic, industrial, and commercial settings, and are installed by contractors and electricians.

KEW Electrical established in 1996, KEW Electrical is an independent-thinking electrical wholesaler based in Brighton. With 26 branches across the south of England and Northern Ireland via Belfast, we are committed to serving our customers’ diverse needs.

KEW has prospered in the UK market for over 25 years, we have achieved this without compromising our small company ethos and have always prided ourselves on being able to quickly adapt to the changing customer needs. The key to KEW’s success – and to its future growth – is that we haven’t lost sight of the customer and what they value.

We work hard to maintain KEW’s philosophy of being easy to deal with and adding value to our customers.
