An electrical wholesaler has expanded into the Midlands region by opening a new branch in the Black Country.
H&S Electrical Wholesalers has launched the operation on the Enterprise Trading Estate, in Brierley Hill, after agreeing a ten-year deal on a warehouse.
The company, which sells items such as cables, sockets, switches, lighting and heating, was founded 17 years ago and now has two branches in Stockport and Salford, Greater Manchester.
The new venue has started with a small team of four with plans to add a further six staff over the next year.
