EW has opened up its latest branch in Peterborough, the 15th in the LEW branch network and the first in Cambridgeshire. Headed up by branch manager Chris Mizen, LEW Peterborough is located
at Unit 6, on Titan Drive in Fengate. The new branch has already created new jobs, in the warehouse and on the sales counter so this is a really exciting time for the area. “We have already established some great relationships with both
customers and suppliers and this is aligned with our core values. The sales counter is the largest in the LEW branch network, so we very much envisage this branch becoming one of the key branches in the LEW portfolio for providing unrivalled levels of service,” said Chris. LEW will be running a variety of opening offers in order to welcome
customers to LEW’s Award Winning Service including an additional 20% off customers’ first order. LEW Electrical Distributors recently won three awards at the Electrical
Wholesaler Awards 2021, for Best Wholesaler (2-25 Branches), Best Individual Branch (Barnsley), and Best Customer Service, showing the company’s commitment to delivering an industry-leading customer experience.

Fingal. As part of the joint pilot scheme, ubitricity has retrofitted two lamp posts in Malahide village with its EV chargers that are stored inside the post.
