We are the market leading electrical wholesale distributor in the UK & Ireland and are an independent, privately owned business. We are a ‘business to business’ company, meaning we purchase electrical equipment from the industry’s leading manufacturers, stock those products in our branches and then sell them on at a profit to a wide and varied range of customers – the majority of whom are electrical contractors and installers. We operate from 400+ locations and employ more than 4,000 well trained, dedicated and professional staff. Our annual sales exceed £1.7 billion and, at any one time, we have more than 120,000 unique product lines available and a combined stock holding in excess of £200 million.
We are similar to some of our competitors in many ways, yet the one factor we think that sets us apart from everyone else is the quality and professionalism of our people. We genuinely believe that our people are our the greatest and most valuable asset and we rely exclusively on our people to deliver outstanding customer service time after time.
Our people know that they are valued, trusted and respected and we motivate them to excel at what they do. So we invest in our people, train them to be the best that they can be and, in so doing, keep Edmundson at the forefront of the industry.
TRUST
Our operating philosophy has trust at its centre. Trusting our people empowers them and gives them freedom to make good decisions. Being trusted enables our people to reach their full potential.
HUMILITY
We don’t boast about our success. We expect that our people always behave in a humble and polite way to customers, suppliers and our competitors.
TRANSPARENT
Honesty and transparency defines integrity, reliability and underpins trust. Business can be demanding and stressful at times, but we must always have the bravery and resilience to keep working hard to succeed even when the going gets tough.

What attracted me to the Company was that I was looking for an opportunity with an ‘Industry Leader’, which Edmundson Electrical are; the largest electrical wholesaler in the UK. I wanted to be able to work for a Company that had great brand reputation.

It’s a position that I really enjoy, because I like being out, in front of customers, so if you are a person that is great at communicating and great at building relationships, ultimately working in external sales is definitely for you.
