30/06/2026

Today marks the end of our first decade in business at Cable & Wholesale Supplies Ltd (CWS).

Like any business, it’s been a journey of highs & occasional challenges, but thankfully, many successes.

Over the past ten years we’ve built a reputation as a specialist electrical distributor with a genuinely national reach. We’ve done it by sticking to a few simple principles:

⚡ Paying bills on time, every time.
⚡ Providing exceptional service to customers, across the UK.
⚡ Providing unparalleled knowledge & technical advice – whether it’s specialist cable, three-phase circuit breaker, or a lighting design, our team is always happy and able to help.

Tomorrow we begin Year 11, and it’s an exciting one. We’re opening our third warehouse soon - giving us even greater capacity to support our growing customer base. Every day our delivery vehicles head to projects and customers across the country – Liverpool, London and Manchester, plus of course, our local customers here in Great Barr.

A huge thank you to our fantastic staff, loyal customers and trusted suppliers. We simply wouldn’t be here without your support.
