Hiya lads, hoping somebody can help.

CEF appear to have disappeared off the face of the earth. After several attempts to try and get in touch with our contacts there we aren't getting any responses.

So it looks like we've lost them as a sponsor for whatever reason.

That leaves us with what I'd see as the most valuable spot on the forum available and up for grabs. We're looking for a national electrical supplier, or or offline, to fill the spot.

I'd like to think between us all we have a contact or two. Rather than me emailing a dozen firms and going down that route, I wondered if we could use the forum to find a firm.

I'd want one that gets involved in competitions, has good lead times on stuff, brilliant prices, lots of offers, that kinda jazz.

Can anybody help?

Either give me a shout in here or get them to email me on [email protected] or something and we'll start a convo with them and see where it takes us. :)

Thanks in advance :D

EDIT April 2020:

Just thought I'd bump this up again. Could do with a couple more sponsors on board during these dodgy times we're in. Any help would be appreciated. Perhaps not an electrical supplier perse but perhaps some other company that would benefit in starting a partnership with the forum.

Midshires in Northampton might be worth a shout, if you want I could pop down tomorrow and sound out the MD
 
Hi Dan - fwiw the I use on line most often is Discount Electrical. Don't know anyone there, but the products, service and pricing has always been good.

Electrical Supplies from Electrical Wholesaler - Discount Electrical - http://www.discount-electrical.co.uk/?gclid=CJm8yI_D3dECFYM4GwodI_MF0Q


+1 for discount electrical aka Shop4.

Only negative they have been caught by our honey pot spam trap a few times sending unsolicited emails to addresses we don't use (honey pot addresses)


I never realised CEF were a sponsor thought it was still that "Northern Irish" company!

Hi Dan, although we're a test equipment specialist I'd agree with Wilko. We've used Discount Electrical for a few odd bits that we've supplied in addition to test equipment and have found their prices and lead times decent. Hope this helps
 
CEF are not the company they once were.

What about Yess, although I've never dealt with them, they're one of the only other ones that covers NI as well as the mainland.
 
Not overly surprised by CEF - they are difficult to deal with at the best of times.

Wilts / Senate / Newlec are under going a major rebranding exercise - so maybe give them try?
 
Hello Dan,

I will try to get email from the bloke who delivers our supplies to site next time he's in. They are
Edmundson Electrical
PO Box 1, Tatton Street
Knutsford, Cheshire
WA16 6AY
and they are great, only maybe too pricey, but that's not my money spent, so I'm alright with it for now.
 
Another vote for TLC. Quick, good stock, prices up front rather than a random number generator. They are south-based (no branches near me) but never had any problems with mail order. Have provided decent technical response when requested, and seems to be run by human beings. All good.
 
Highly recommend 3line electrical i use them for all my bits, they always deliver next day and yesterday they got to me same day which got me out of a situation. All round the country aswell. I've spoke to there manager and he sounds interested
 
Hi Dan,

Not sure about a top spot but we at vintagelights.co.uk might be interested in being a site sponser. We sell lots of lighting components, cables, lamp holders, ceiling roses etc. Obviously we are more niche than a full on electrical supplier.
