BOLSTERING SERVICE, SUSTAINABILITY AND INNOVATION: BM ELECTRICAL WHOLESALE’S COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE IN ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION… Buying power and investment in innovation drive growth

A longside a high level of service, expertise and competitive pricing, BM Electrical Wholesale is an innovator investing in its ecommerce platform and environmental credentials. The firm’s competitive edge is bolstered by affiliation with European group International Distributors of Electrical Equipment and membership of the Association of Wholesale Electrical Bulk Buyers (AWEBB). “Our fleet now includes one fully electric EV car and seven PHEV plug in hybrid cars.”

BM Electrical Managing Director Ken Robinson sits on the Board of Directors and is currently company secretary of AWEBB, the largest independent buying co-operative in the UK and Ireland. And the next generation is ensuring the family business keeps up with evolving demands. “We have just started our e-commerce journey and Luke Robinson has started work on the creation of a fully functional e-commerce platform that will include online ordering, access to technical information and the facility for customers to manage their account online,” said Ken. “This will be optimised for mobile phone,

tablet or PC users.” BM Electrical is also future proofing its business, meanwhile, with a carbon neutral policy. “As a company, we strive to be more efficient, environmentally friendly and protect our planet,” said Ken. “This includes a reduction in printed paperwork, efficient planning of our fleet of vehicles and most recently, a move towards EV vehicles. “Our fleet now includes one fully electric EV car and seven PHEV plug in hybrid cars. I have researched EV delivery vehicles but unfortunately, the technology is just not there yet with the range we need to service our network of customers.”
