Time to discover A Brighter Tomorrow.
What's it like to work with us?
There’s no such thing as an ‘I’m just a…’ role at CEF. All our team members play a vital part in the success of the business, and so can you.
We’re incredibly proud of our track record of developing so many of our team members and taking them on a journey - from their first day in electrical wholesale to becoming leaders of our business and industry.
We believe that attitude, learning and hard work should be rewarded. As well as highly competitive salaries, our annual bonus scheme is directly linked to the success of our business.
Don’t just take our word for it though, let our team members tell you themselves.
Our Roles
We’ve got a huge variety of roles and we’re sure that you’ll find the ideal opportunity for you.
Whether you want to put your stamp on one role or want to progress and build a career, there’s the ideal opportunity here for you.
You could be working as part of one of our fantastic branch teams; be at the heart of distributing our products nationwide as part of our online operations; add your creativity to our marketing team or help us build and maintain relationships with some of the biggest companies in the UK. Those are just some of the avenues you can explore. There’s no shortage of things to get involved in.
Who are we looking for?
We love potential, of the team members who join us and of ourselves as a business.
You’ll be given the opportunity to build a long-term, diverse career based on your attitude, learning and hard work.
We’re doing big things and so can you. If you have the right attitude you’ll be heard. We’ll back you because we believe in you, but more importantly, we want you to believe in yourself at CEF.
You might have no experience at all of electrical wholesale or electrical products and that’s fine, we can share our expertise with you.
I couldn’t be prouder to be part of CEF.
What started out as a small family business, has grown, and flourished into a family of thousands who thrive together, every day.
You can feel a real sense of togetherness across our business, and we are passionate about welcoming new talent into our family, whatever their experience, skills or background. CEF is a place where you can truly transform your potential into success, creating a better future for yourself and a brighter tomorrow for our teams, our business, and the communities around us.
