Also available through BEW is Zucchini, the specialist in busbar power distribution systems offering a simple and cost effective alternative to traditional cabling when installing lighting and power distribution systems in both commercial and industrial environments.

BEW Chairman Phil Webb commented: "After 30 plus years of trading, the Electrak franchise gives us the full deck of cards with which to compete with the National Electrical Wholesalers. Dealing with us means the customer has direct access to the BEW board of directors, unlike the Nationals where the buck often stops at the branch manager. Our branches are conveniently located to service the burgeoning London skyline, the Midlands, East Anglia and the Home Counties and there is not one single product we cannot source directly from the manufacturer, this gives great peace of mind to our customers and their clients."
