What you would do

A Customer Service & Sales apprentice is required for a leading electrical wholesaler. The candidate will start on the Trade Counter serving customers learning all the products and then move onto Direct Sales. Fantastic career progression opportunity for the right candidate.

Day to day

UK Cables is a leading national cable stockist, specialising in the supply, management and distribution of electric cables.

UK Cables can trace their provenance to 1987 when BICC sold their specialist cable stockholder, Cablexpress. Cablexpress was later joined by Capital Cables and Dunasfern. After the acquisition of Cables and Flexibles in 1993 all of the locations adopted the trading name of UK Cables.

In order to provide more focus and business development, the company joined Newbury Investments in 2004.

Today, UK Cables has 3 stocking locations and 1 sales office and offers an extensive range of cables and cable solutions across the UK.
