UK Electrical Wholesaler with 118 branches all delivering a better, brighter service to our trade customers.

About us

Electric Center was formed back in October 2006 following the merger of AC Electrical and William Wilson electrical branches. Since then we have expanded our branch network and developed new branches throughout the UK to offer our customers a better, brighter service from over 110 branches nationwide. Electric Center seeks to bring a new approach to customer service in the world of electrical wholesaling harnessing the power of our local branch network, expertise and relationships with suppliers. Our aim is quite simple – to become the first choice wholesaler for our customers whatever their requirements, large or small. That is why we have made three simple but powerful promises which will guide our business into the future: We are committed to understanding your business, we aim to make our customers lives simple and finally we deliver on our promises.

    A huge congratulations to Elly and Joe!!! 🎉 On Thursday morning, Elly Burnard and Joe Gibson completed their 5895m climb to the summit of Kilimanjaro! After 4 gruelling days, their climb ended with a 9hr stint through the night to reach what must have felt like the top of the world! ‘We made it! The trickiest thing we have both ever done! Walking through the night in -13 degrees, sunrise recharged the batteries, and we got to the top!’ – Elly We couldn’t be prouder of them for accomplishing this incredible achievement. We would also like to express our gratitude to Elly and Joe for allowing us to be apart of this once in a lifetime experience, whilst raising money for the EIC. Well Done Elly and Joe! We hope you are getting a well-deserved rest. 👏👏👏
