What You'll Do

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 was formed in 1910 and eight years ago celebrated our centenary. Our 108 years in electrical wholesaling give 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.
