Meet The Team
Blackpool Electrical Traders are focussed on customer commitment and sourcing quality products. We build our business on the strength of the relationship with our customers and suppliers. - In a wholesale business, this is key.
Says MD Blake Day "Wholesaling is a trade in itself and at BET we have a team that possesses an incredible depth of knowledge of this business. Our customers know that if they have a problem or a query, they can call us in to analyse the problem and provide the solution, a service that the big players just do not offer."
