Smarter support for industrial controls

Specialist support. National reach. Local know-how.

Industrial projects rarely come down to products alone. You need the right specification, reliable supply and people who understand what’s at stake when downtime, deadlines and compliance are on the line.

That’s where our National Accounts Industrial team comes in. Supporting customers across utilities, energy, transport, defence, telecoms, aggregates and manufacturing, we bring together specialist expertise, trusted products and nationwide support to help make complex projects simpler.

Industrial expertise where you need it

Our dedicated Industrial Solutions & Projects team supports customers across the UK and Ireland, from control gear and sensing to enclosures, trunking and more.

With over 75 years of combined industry experience across our Category Managers and more than 100 years of industrial product sourcing experience within our Solution Managers and technical team, there’s plenty of know-how behind every project.

Add our network of 390+ branches, and you get specialist national support backed by local branches, stock and service when you need it.

More than product supply

Our support doesn’t stop once the products are specified. We can help with services designed to reduce downtime, improve efficiency and make ongoing site management easier, including:

  • Voltage optimisation and LED lighting upgrade design

  • Critical spares management and stock rationalisation

  • Obsolescence surveys, risk assessments and panel build advice

  • Waste recycling and calibration

  • Project management through our dedicated Customer Fulfilment Centres

It’s practical support that can help you save energy, simplify supply and keep critical operations moving.
