Why UK Electrical Wholesalers Are Choosing Cutterwell for Cable Management Supply

Electrical wholesalers are facing problems with supply. Stock turns up late or not at all. Prices keep changing. Well-known product ranges are being renamed or dropped without warning. These issues make it harder to serve customers and keep shelves stocked.

Some wholesalers are now rethinking who they buy from. They want reliable cable management supply from a UK manufacturer they can speak to directly. They want products that match what their customers already know, without needing to explain a new brand or code.

In this article we look at why wholesalers are switching cable management suppliers and how UK manufacturing is helping them stay in control.

What UK electrical wholesalers are struggling with

It used to be simple. A wholesaler would place an order, get what they needed, and keep stock moving. Now it’s harder to rely on anything. Products that have been on the shelves for years are being replaced or renamed without warning. Installers still ask for them by the old part code, but they’re no longer available. That puts the pressure on the wholesaler to explain the change or find an alternative that fits.

At the same time, prices keep shifting. It’s not always clear when they’ll change or why. For wholesalers trying to plan ahead, that lack of stability creates more risk than they’re comfortable with.

Some are now working with several suppliers just to keep the basics in stock. That means more admin and more moving parts. When you're trying to run a business built on fast, reliable trade supply, this kind of uncertainty slows everything down.

Why wholesalers are switching to a new cable management supplier

When stock doesn’t arrive on time, it affects more than just the delivery schedule. Wholesalers are left dealing with the consequences, often without clear answers from the supplier. Customers expect a quick response, but the person on the trade counter can only do so much.

Some buyers try to plan around the delays, but that can mean holding more stock than they want or placing orders earlier than makes sense. Others end up splitting orders across different suppliers, which creates more admin and more room for problems.

That’s why some wholesalers are now looking to move away from suppliers that have become unreliable. They want someone who understands the pace of trade supply. They want products that do what they always have, without needing to explain the change to every customer.

Same part codes, same products, same factory

The Cutterwell name now appears on a cable management range that many wholesalers already know well. These products were once supplied under Mita, then Schneider Electric. Nothing about the manufacturing has changed. They’re still made at the same site in Flint, North Wales, by the same team, using the same tools and materials.

This consistency matters. Wholesalers can keep ordering the part codes they’ve always used. Installers won’t notice any change in fit or appearance. There’s no need to rework stock systems or explain a new product line to customers.

What has changed is how the range is managed. Cutterwell now supplies it directly, with a focus on electrical wholesalers. Orders are handled by people who understand how the trade works and what’s expected when stock is needed quickly.

A complete cable management range for electrical wholesalers

Cutterwell supplies over 300 cable management products, manufactured at our site in Flint and designed for everyday use in trade environments. The range covers trunking, conduit, fittings, floor systems, perimeter systems, power poles and socket boxes. Every product is built to meet the needs of UK wholesalers and their customers.

Mini trunking is available in standard sizes and finishes, suitable for surface-mounted installations in offices, classrooms and retail spaces. For heavier-duty applications, we supply conduit and a full range of fittings, providing protection for cabling in industrial and commercial settings. Perimeter systems allow for clean, accessible wiring along walls, often used in hospitals, schools and public buildings.

We also supply power poles and posts for open-plan spaces, as well as socket and switch boxes that match the dimensions and specifications many wholesalers are already familiar with. Each part of the range is designed to work together, making it easier to build a complete order from a single supplier.

This level of coverage means wholesalers can source everything they need without relying on multiple manufacturers. It keeps ordering simple and helps avoid confusion at the trade counter. For new customers or those unfamiliar with the range, our team can provide product guidance, technical information and help with matching existing part codes.

Stock, pricing and support that works for the trade

Wholesalers rely on clear answers and steady supply. When stock is held back or prices keep shifting without notice, it causes problems further down the line. At Cutterwell, we’ve focused on keeping things straightforward.

We hold stock at our UK site and supply it directly. That means shorter lead times, better visibility and fewer delays. We also aim to maintain price stability wherever we can, so wholesalers have a clearer picture when planning orders or quoting trade customers.

Support is handled by people who know the range and understand the pressures of wholesale supply. If you need product information, lead times or help with matching codes, we’ll get you what you need without delay.

Choosing a supplier built around wholesale supply

The range hasn’t changed. It’s still made at the same site in Flint using the same tools, part codes and materials that wholesalers across the UK already know. What has changed is how it’s supplied.

Cutterwell is a dedicated cable management brand built around the needs of electrical wholesalers. The products are made in the UK, stocked for trade and supported by a team that understands the demands of wholesale supply.
