It is exciting times for Hughes Trade as we launch our new brand identity to you after incorporating the recently acquired Bennetts trade business into our own Hughes Trade service and Apollo2000 Trade in the Midlands.

Following Hughes acquisition of Bennetts in March 2011 we are welcoming Bennetts customers to our services. With more delivery capacity, more team members to deal with enquiries, much more stock and of course the same great prices we look forward to assisting with their requirements.

We are pleased to announce the opening of the latest trade branch, based in Colchester Tollgate Centre. With our loading bay just 3 minutes from the A12 (Stanway junction) and plenty of stock carried for quick fixes we are keen to impress. Mark Sparrow, Team Leader of the new service (joining us from Bennetts trade) welcomes customers old and new; he can be contacted on 01206 764 764 or colchester@get-ted.co.uk

The Norwich trade team has been thoroughly reinforced with no less than five new sales and support personnel. A hearty welcome to Alister, Liam, Daniel, Heidi and Lucy (who all have solid previous experience dealing with trade customers requiring electricals) have joined their new colleagues in the Norwich offices. The new team members will ensure our demanding service levels are not compromised during our current dramatic growth. The Norwich trade team can be contacted on 01603 750444 or norwich@get-ted.co.uk

A warm welcome to Ian who joins us as delivery driver working out of Chelmsford depot. It's great news for customers of Chelmsford and in and around the M25 as they will benefit from increased delivery slots and additional contact capacity as Simon joins the team in the office to assist the team with recent dramatic growth. Best of luck guys in your new roles!
