Yorkshire electrical wholesaler reaches 750 employees and £100 million sales in 12 months

Wakefield’s YESSS has become the UK’s fourth largest electrical wholesaler, just 12 months after opening its first branch, with annual sales of over £100 million, almost 100 branches and more than 750 employees.

Adam and Ashley Mackie set up YESSS (Your Electrical Supplies, Service and Solutions) in 2012 in a market worth an estimated £3 billion annually.

With support from general managers Richard Kay, Andy Singleton, Graham Lockwood, Mark Abbey and Mark Nolan plus a solid core of 14 industry experienced regional managers, YESSS Electrical is now one of the UK’s fastest growing companies.

A year on from its UK launch YESSS has served more than 14,000 customers from large electrical contractors to sole-traders and home improvement consumers. The firm has multiple new branches opening from Brighton to Belfast, and Enfield to Edinburgh.

Adam Mackie said: “This first year of growth has been phenomenal for us, and has shown us that the electrical industry was more than ready for something new.

Adam’s brother Ashley said: “Our devotion is to sell excellent quality products and brands in a customer focused environment. We gave our image a great deal of thought and have been dedicated and passionate to the YESSS creative process.

“Our approach brings together the best elements of an electrical wholesaler with the inviting feel of a retail environment.

“For example, we stock thousands of products - from everyday supplies, to cutting-edge eco-green technologies. We have built, created and designed a clean branch environment with a good atmosphere and excellent customer service driven by the best teams with years of industry experience.

Technical installation knowledge and expertise about the long term benefits and ‘pay-back’ periods are also available from the branch teams as part of the company’s long-term commitment to the green sector.
