The Anglia Live eCommerce website was opened for EU customers in January of 2024, providing a one or two day delivery service for customers in mainland Europe, with orders shipped Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) from Anglia’s UK distribution centre via FedEx’s Paris logistics hub. Competitive pricing is offered in multiple currencies coupled with ex-stock availability across a wide inventory of semiconductor, passive and electromechanical products. Orders placed up to 17:00 CET Monday to Thursday and 12:30 CET on Friday are despatched the same day. There is no minimum order value, and delivery is free for orders over €50/$60.
Feedback in the first year of operation has been incredibly positive. Customers have commented on the speed of the delivery service and that they found the transparency of our site very reassuring; they like to see that we actually have the parts in stock on our shelves…
useful to contract manufacturers who are typically quoting for several projects at a time and need a fuss-free and fast quote. Furthermore, Anglia products are supplied with full lot traceability back to the original manufacturer’s pack, even for broken pack quantities such as cut tape and Ready Reel formats.
we are not just back-to-back ordering on receipt of order, which inevitably pushes out delivery times. As well as our customers, our franchise partner suppliers have also welcomed and fully support the initiative.
Furthermore, the wider EU customer base can now enjoy our suite of digital tools available on Anglia Live, such as BOM+ which will fully cost and cross reference a Bill of Materials in under two minutes, a tool which is particularly
We are continuing the focus on making our business and processes more environmentally friendly. Our customers are also recognising that sustainability has moved from a ‘nice concept’ to a ‘must address’ issue. Many are already working closely with us to help them meet the sustainability requirements of their businesses. Today we ship product in reusable and recyclable packaging, and just as importantly, it comes from a UK distribution centre, generating seven times less CO2 than if it came from a US location. During 2024 we received public recognition of our commitment to sustainability receiving awards for our efforts, including one from a global leading energy technology company who presented us with their prestigious award for ‘Supplier Excellence in Environmental, Social & Governance’ (ESG). So, as I’ve highlighted, although 2024 has been tough, there have been a lot of positives at Anglia because we have been consistently planning for the long term as a business. What does 2025 offer? As we said at the beginning of this article, we believe that the excess inventory in the supply chain will largely be digested by the middle of the year, and we are already prepared for this. But in the meantime, one thing is certain: at Anglia we will continue to do our very best to deliver what customers require. We’ll continue to innovate with our service programs, we have an exciting initiative we will launch in 2025 which will enhance our customers’ buying experience even further. Additionally, we are adding new franchises to ensure that we can supply the full range of active, passive and electromechanical devices that customers need. Above all, we will continue to listen closely to our customers’ needs and offer them a compelling choice even as the industry undergoes further consolidation - and we will manage our comprehensive inventories to ensure that delivery times to our customers are as short as possible. The timeless fundamentals—stock, service, and support—remain the same, what sets Anglia apart is how we deliver them.
