History
TLC was founded in 1991. The first branch was a small warehouse in Crawley, with 3 employees and a range of 2,500 products. Three months later a second branch was opened in London and since then the company has grown steadily, opening new branches and extending the product range.
The company currently employs 250 people throughout 29 branches in England and Wales.

Our position as one of the leading independent Electrical Wholesalers has been built on a commitment to customer service, investment in skilled, friendly staff and by offering a huge range of products at a discount price.
New products are added every month, so if you do not see your exact requirements please ask as we will probably have it in stock or be able to source it if not.
Buying Power
Annual sales of over £55,000,000 means we have the power to buy the best quality goods in bulk and pass on the savings to our customers. With discounts as high as 85%, every item listed is discounted below trade price.
Further discounts are reflected in the quantity breaks; this gives you the chance to save even more money, the more you purchase.
Quality
We do not sacrifice the quality of our products to keep prices down. Over the last 25 years, we have seen companies start and fail by selling poor quality goods at what seem to be ‘bargain’ prices. We will not advertise or supply poor quality imported products just to display the lowest price.
