What Do Electrical Wholesalers Stock?

An electrical wholesaler is a business-to-business supplier that stocks electrical materials, tools, and equipment at trade prices for qualified electricians, contractors, and installers. Unlike a retail hardware shop, a wholesaler carries professional-grade stock, from cable and containment through to switchgear and renewable energy products, at volumes that suit a working site.

EEW stocks products across these categories:

• Cable: from 1.0mm singles to 95mm SWA, stocked by length and in drum
• Wiring accessories: standard and designer switch and socket ranges, USB outlets, data points
• Consumer units and distribution boards: dual RCD, RCBO-equipped and three-phase boards
• Lighting: LED, emergency, external, commercial and decorative
• EV charging equipment: chargers, tethered leads, smart controllers and accessories
• Heating and controls: electric radiators, panel heaters, immersion cylinders, thermostats
• Tools and PPE: cable testers, multi meters, PPE, and installation accessories

Where we do not carry a product in branch, most special orders arrive within 48 to 72 hours to your local EEW branch.
