AMP Electrical Supplies Ltd is Portsmouth’s independent electrical wholesaler which is family owned business and still run by the people who started it. Since 1994 we have supplied domestic and commercial contractors from our branch at 157–161 Kingston Road in North End Portsmouth, with the everyday essentials and the specialist products that keeps your job moving. We are open to the trade and the public, and we treat both with the same straightforward service: honest advice, stock on the shelf, and a number you can actually get through to from 7am to 5pm Monday to Friday.
Independence is a strength only if it is backed by scale where scale is useful. That is why we are proud members of AWEBB, the Association of Wholesale Electrical Bulk Buyers the UK’s leading electrical purchasing consortium for independent wholesalers. AWEBB is not a faceless national chain. It is a member-owned buying group, founded in 1976, now spanning hundreds of branches across the UK and Ireland. Collective purchasing power means better terms with manufacturers. Shared stock through ElectraCentre Distribution is the equivalent of extra warehouse space and extra inventory so when a line is thin locally, we can still get it without the delays and minimum order nonsense that frustrate smaller independents. Inter-trading arrangements mean a contractor working away from home can collect from another AWEBB member and still deal with a familiar invoice.
Click Scolmore is a cornerstone. As a Click Premier Stockist we carry the ranges electricians actually specify: Deco, Mode, Elucian, MiniGrid, New Media, Aquip and more. Wiring accessories, grid systems, consumer units and the finishes that turn a functional install into a job the client notices. If it is not on the shelf today, we can usually have it the next working day.
Aico is non-negotiable on fire and carbon monoxide detection. We stock the complete Ei140e and Ei3000 series because life-safety products are not the place to shop around on quality. Landlords, housing associations and domestic customers all need alarms that meet current standards and last the life of the tenancy or the family home.
Univolt covers containment, cable management and the unglamorous kit that holds an installation together including trunking, conduit and accessories that have to fit first time on site.
Saxby Lighting sits alongside our wider lighting offer: decorative, contemporary and commercial fittings for homes, hospitality and small commercial schemes.
We also work with other established names across ventilation, circuit protection, tools and accessories such as Manrose, Wiska, Wylex, BG, Ansell and more so a contractor can pick up a complete job list in one visit.
We try to be helpful and professional. That sounds modest because it is meant to. Electrical wholesale succeeds when the person behind the counter understands the job, not when they recite a script. Questions can be large or small. Talk to us. Call 023 9235 6357, email the sales team, or come in to see us.
