Hampshire wholesaler recommendations.

[Mr. Anderson]

Hi guys

I'm starting out on my own within the next few weeks and need to buy absolutely everything from scratch. It would be great to find a local wholesaler to fill my van with test equipment, tools and materials and hope that you might be able to recommend a quality team to help me out. I'm based in Havant, Hampshire.

Cheers,
Chris.

Why do you want to put all your eggs in one basket and get everything from one person??

Also, just to clarify. Correct me if I'm wrong and I will apologise but the fact that you are looking for something as basic as hand tools to start up your own business tells me that you haven't had a single days experience??

I'm not saying that's what I'll do BUT if I can find a good place then why not if they've got the right stuff priced hopnestly and look after you?

Mainly domestic, commercial, industrial, or a mix.

Correct, I'm fresh from gaining my qualifications. Is that a problem?

All three.

TLC for domestic, they do smaller commercial stuff but not larger commercial/industrial.
CSE (based in Southampton) for larger stuff.

There are plenty of others to choose from:
Wilts (Fareham)
CEF (Fareham)

I can think of TLC and WF, with the latter you have to be patient though.

I'm not having a go. But I am 29 yrs old. Also fresh out of college except I was doing one day a week for an electrical company who have now taken me on full time. A word of warning is that you are in for a massive shock. On the tools is no comparison to college. No matter how good you are.
