Welcome to the April issue of Electrical Wholesaler!
This month’s issue takes a look at a number of rapidly growing market sectors, and how wholesalers can harness new demand to maximise profits.
The rapid growth of the EV chargers market means that stakeholders are still navigating the best ways to provide value and quality to customers. As the market enters a more commercially mature phase, Fraser Koefman, commercial director at VCHRGD, asks whether we are likely to see the end of the monthly socket fee – and shares his thoughts on the changes we are likely to see as as EV adoption broadens across SME workplaces and mixed-use residential sites.
Vent-Axia’s Ashley Smith, meanwhile, explains how wholesalers can tap into the growing market for decentralised mechanical ventilation (dMEV) – a fast-growing technology that offers strong margins and increasing customer demand.
On page 24, meanwhile, Lyndsey Tweddle of leading WEEE compliance scheme Recolight shares her insights on the vital role of wholesalers in electrical waste management, providing the a crucial link between contractors, end users and compliant recycling routes. “By embracing your role within the circular economy and positioning your branch as an accessible, compliant recycling hub, you help safeguard the environment, support contractors and reinforce your reputation as an industry leader committed to best practice,” she advises.
Plus, as always, we share our usual news, views, products and installations from market-leading businesses across the sector, including a first look at Circular Lighting Live’s seminar line-up, and our usual updates from the Electrical Industries Charity. Enjoy the issue!
