Rexel is the UK’s leading distributor of electrical products and solutions. We were previously known in the UK via our trading divisions: Newey & Eyre, WF Senate, Wilts and Parker Merchanting, which have now been brought together under the Rexel name. Denmans which is also part of the Rexel group trades under its own name. Established for over 90 years, we have a huge amount of expertise in the industry. We’re also part of the Rexel global group, so we have the solid foundations of a worldwide organisation supporting us in the UK. Our 250 branches nationwide mean that the average journey is only 20 minutes to your nearest branch. We offer national, regional and local account management, and a flexible multi-channel service, with the option to place orders via phone, trade counter or online 24/7, and 10,000 products available for ‘click & collect’. We source only quality products from leading manufacturers to provide reliability and value for money. Our Newlec own-brand range of over 3,000 products, offers quality and value for money, and is consistently available across all of our branches. Our expert teams understand the products and the challenges faced by our customers, and our investment in training for all of our people keeps those standards high. We hold NQA Certification to four globally recognised standards across our UK business, underlining our commitment to the environment, efficiency in processes, and the health and safety of our people.
