CEF expands to meet demand

CEF has satisfied the growing demand for online ordering, with a new 8,000sq ft extension to their customer fulfilment distribution warehouse which supports their award winning best in class website.

Since the launch of cef.co.uk in January 2015, CEF has seen rapid online sales growth and as a result the company quickly reached capacity at the existing 58,000 square foot site.

Divisional Manager, Craig Marks, said: “This is a very new and dynamic market and one which continues to grow quickly. To continue to provide the level of service which our customers expect we realised that expansion was essential.”

The warehouse expansion will not only allow CEF to continue to provide the highest levels of customer service, it will also ensure that more products are available on a next day basis for customers ordering up to 8pm.

Craig continues: “This expansion means that we now have 30,000 products available for next day delivery from over 200 suppliers and as a result we are able to provide exactly what our customers need, when they need it.”

The success of cef.co.uk was recently recognised at the 2016 Electrical Wholesaler Awards, where CEF picked up ‘Best Website’ award.
