About this apprenticeship

Addlestone Electrical Wholesalers (AEW) is a leading supplier of electrical lighting products in Surrey, backed by the founders of T&R Electrical, who formed a loyal customer base and long-standing reputation after more than 30 years in the business.
Their innovative approach and exceptional levels of service is a legacy that we are proud to continue here at AEW, and thanks to the established reputation and experience of our backers, AEW achieved immediate credibility following its launch in 2010, and has continued to go from strength to strength.
