    The Electrical Distributors

    Established in 1983, BEW Electrical Distributors Ltd. are members of Fegime UK, a buying group that gives us the ability to combine our core company values with the purchasing power of a conglomerate. This means that you, our customer, can enjoy the personal service and attention that characterises a family owned business, whilst benefitting from the competitive pricing of a much larger organisation. For first class service, quality products and competitive prices, make BEW your first stop for electrical supplies.

  • Welcome

    Welcome

    Since our first store opened its doors on Balham High Road over 30 years ago, BEW has grown to be a major player in the UK electrical market. Now with 20 stores across the country, our unbeatable service has made us a firm favourite with electricians and suppliers across the UK.

    Welcome to the Family

    BEW has remained a family owned and operated business since friends Phil Webb and Ron Locker opened the first BEW in 1983. For over 30 years, our core values and commitment to our customers have seen us develop into one of the country's leading electrical wholesalers. We continue to build on our strong reputation within the industry and remain dedicated to enhancing and developing BEW for future generations.

    Our first store in Balham

    Quickly outgrowing our original premises on Balham High Road, we moved to another larger location in Balham, before purchasing an additional warehouse in Kimber Road, Wandsworth. This became BEW's second branch and, within a few years, our reputation led us to open new branches further afield. BEW now have 20 stores across the UK, stretching from Telford to Orpington.

    The secret to our success is simple. We've given our customers what they wanted; quality proprietary products, competitive prices and a great all round service.

    Our first store in Balham

    BEW are proud to be one of the largest members of Fegime UK (formerly AED) which is the oldest buying group in the UK. The consortium currently has thirty members with over 100 branches nationwide which includes some of the biggest names in the wholesaling world. Membership of a pan-European association gives members access to data and information from 15 countries including Russia. The consortium is owned by the members for the members and has a reputation second to none in the industry.

  • What We Do

    What we do

    BEW trade counters are second to none. Our branches supply everything you'd need from an electrical wholesaler, with dedicated and experienced teams on hand to make sure that you get the products you need at the right price. With next day delivery and a series of Link Vans to further improve stock availability, getting the supplies you need has never been simpler.

    The best choice and quality

    Where others have de-stocked, BEW have invested to bring a wide range of stock from a huge variety of brands to our customers across the UK.

    Our warehouses and branches feature key franchises of proprietary brands, including Electrak, MK, Crabtree, NEST, Schneider (Merlin Gerin), Prysmian Cable, Eaton (MEM), Concord, Aurora, Wylex, Philips, Hager, Marshall Tufflex and Vent Axia. Thanks to our three daily Link Vans, all our branches have access to this extended range of stock and any product can be available in-branch within 24 hours.

    Our branches are open from either 7.00 am or 7.30 am every weekday.

    Why not give us a try, you won't regret it...

    Fast, Reliable next-day delivery

    Ensuring that our customers can get the products they need, when they need them, is a key part of BEW's service.

    Our fleet of 68 vans can deliver to London, the Midlands, East Anglia and the Home Counties free of charge, with no minimum order value, while orders for collection can be picked up from any branch within the network.

    Community

    We have worked to build a community at BEW, with local events such as Trade Mornings, Open Days and Trade Calibration Days. With product demonstrations from key BEW brands available on site, the events are a great way to help you get to grips with the latest technology the industry has to offer.

    Branch managers regularly invite suppliers to visit stores for product training, to keep our trade counter teams up-to-date on all the latest industry developments.
