Work

What you’ll do at work
Medlock Electrical Distributors are the largest independent wholesale group in the UK and a leading member of the ANEW buying consortium. Recent rapid growth has seen us increase our number of branches from 23 to 44 in the last 6 years and now have branches in the Republic of Ireland (Dublin and Cork), Scotland (Elgin, Stornoway and Inverness) and the Lake District (Kendal).
Medlock's were formed in 1910 and eight years ago celebrated our centenary. Our 108 years in electrical wholesaling gives us considerable experience and knowledge that enables us to give our customers a wide choice, great value but above all an unbeatable service.
Our Avenue own brand product range contains fast moving, competitively priced commodity products in all product areas: cable, cable accessories, cable management, circuit protection, fire and security, heating, water heating, lighting, lamps and tools. In addition we have recently launched our Avenger own brand range of LED lighting and our Avenue Basics range of budget price accessories. In addition, we hold huge stocks of all major brands across our branch network.
What is an Electrical Wholesaler?
Electrical wholesalers sell the products we all use in our homes, businesses, entertainment venues, cafes that give us access to electricity - from lighting our homes through to floodlighting a football match, from recharging a mobile phone to recharging an electric vehicle. The products you will be working with are used in domestic, industrial, and commercial settings, and are installed by contractors and electricians.

- Store transfers & stock control
- Completing the paperwork within the office
- Liaising with customers on the trade counter
- Raising quotations
- Opening new accounts
- Mananing current accounts
- Sales calls
- Processing orders
- Administration
- Answering the telephone
- Maybe required to help within the warehouse when busy
Some Sales or customer service experience is nice to have for this role.
