CEF is an expert supplier of electrical products and services for professional buyers and installers all over the UK. Their large offering of products, including leading brands and alternatives, is incremented by their famous specialist know-how, friendly advice and support. CEF’s fully priced trade catalogue was a first for the industry and brought much-needed pricing consistency and transparency to the electrical wholesale market. However, that is not the only big transformation the company has brought as one of the major players in the sector. The judges stated that CEF is simply changing the face of wholesalers to what it should be like. The multinational company has been modernising the wholesale environment by developing opportunities with their TechTalks and podcasts, which show that they are at the cutting edge of the industry. In partnership with the Institution of Engineering (IET), the TechTalks roadshow has brought CPD-accredited training to thousands of electricians and contractors. The free events discuss the latest wiring regulations and how to apply them safely, in a training session that may not be affordable or easily accessible for all CEF customers. Their weekly podcast discusses electrical topics of the moment and all the content is available online and free of charge.
