At the industry awards ceremony in London, BEW collected the much coveted Best Electrical Wholesaler of the Year Award for 2012 in the "over £20 million turnover category".

The judges commented: "BEW demonstrates real investment in its staff, whilst providing a great service for its clients. It is no mean feat catering for, and valuing everyone when you are such a large company. It is clear from the testimonials received that they garner loyalty from both their customers and employees."

Phil Webb, BEW Chairman, said: "It was a fantastic reward for a busy year in which we opened two new branches and relocated a third.The business grew by 30%, spearheaded by an innovative awards campaign which gave recognition to a lot of hard work.


In our 30th year of business it really was the icing on the cake.

We would like to thank all of our customers, especially those who took time to give personal testimony about our service; our suppliers, whom we rely on and work so closely with, and last but not least, our wonderful staff who work so diligently in giving our customers the service they deserve.

"We have always maintained a standard of great service, competitive prices, whist supplying proprietary branded quality products, so it's pleasing, in an economy that often sees cut-backs on some of those elements, to be recognised in this way.

On behalf of BEW www.bewdirect.co.uk I would like to congratulate all of this years award winners and finalists."
