Who We Are

Daniel Lavery and Klaire Wilson formed Netelec in 2016. Having both worked for large electrical wholesalers for a number of years, they knew they could provide a better service to clients whilst improving their home/work life balance.

At Netelec, we don’t have ambitions of being a large wholesale chain, we simply strive to know our customers, understand their individual needs and provide them with honest, reliable service.

What We Do

Netelec looks after all aspects of the electrical industry but has a strong focus on industrial and marine products.

We don’t just sell products, we provide a service. Products you can buy anywhere, good service is not so easy to find. Please contact us today to see what we can do for you.
