Headed up by Sales Director Dan Hope, a well-known industry figure, Ovia Ireland was established in 2021 to bring its comprehensive range of lighting solutions to the market here. Based in purpose-designed premises in Dublin, Ovia Ireland operates as a stand-alone business replicating the UK business operation with access to the same products, marketing and technical support and new product development. Ovia’s range spans domestic, commercial, industrial, utility, amenity, emergency lighting and floodlighting applications, and includes lighting control solutions to optimise energy saving.

Dolphin Electrical Wholesale has established a well-earned reputation as a trusted, dependable supplier supporting both local and large-scale projects. Long-term, dedicated staff deliver exceptional customer service and forge strong relationships, helping their customers to complete projects on time and within budget. Founded by Harry and Noeleen Rooney in 1977, the Dublin business is now run by a second generation of the family and has evolved from a local wholesale supplier into a trusted provider for hospitals, colleges, schools and apprenticeship programmes nationwide. Complementing high-quality customer service with helping its community through support for charities and sports teams locally and provincially, the business has expanded and nurtured lasting relationships with its local customers.

Dolphin Electrical has built its reputation on speed, reliability and consistency, ensuring customers receive the right products exactly when required. A key differentiator is its industry-leading delivery service, with multiple daily deliveries provided to trade and commercial customers at no additional cost.
