Which wholesaler and why? Discussion ThreadWhich wholesaler and why? Electrical Advice
Hello all,
As per title, I currently have a City's and a REXEL account. Started with city's when I was doing odd bits, quickly found City's to be extortionate and even as I started to put rewires etc. through there was no movement on their prices..
Went to REXEL, and found they were giving me some good prices and the guys in my local branch were really helpful, so have stuck with them.
Unfortunately I've just been told my local branch is being closed on Friday, they've been told not to tell anyone and just close up, which is shocking from the powers that be given small businesses rely on them. Based on this I'm not really keen to move over and use the larger branches in nearby Oxford.
Who do people rate and use? I know a lot buy online these days but having a local branch to drop into for unforseen items, grab a dubious quality hot chocolate and have a bit of a chat is quite important to me, and has always been part of the job I've liked, from apprentice through to now. Particularly now working alone a lot of the time!
Any recommendations are welcome, I'm Oxford-ish based, so any small locals, or positives around the larger guys would be appreciated.
Many thanks
