Record Business Growth for Thorne & Derrick & Nexans Power Accessories (UK) Ltd
Published 08 Feb 2022
By Chris Dodds | Sales & Marketing Manager at Thorne & Derrick International
In 2018, Thorne & Derrick signed a UK Distribution Agreement with Nexans Power Accessories – this united the leading UK based Specialist Electrical Distributor with a global driver of the world’s transition to a more connected and sustainable energy future.
Since inception our contracted agreement has delivered consecutive annual business growth, last year including a 65% year-on-year leap in sales.
This success is due to our shared commitment to increasing stock holding, customer service levels, technical training and product innovation. Despite acknowledged supply chain and logistical challenges, due to politics and pandemics, we have worked hard together to overcome and mitigate impacts on the customer.
Our dynamic agreement supports existing customers and develops new market-share for the Nexans range of cable joints, terminations and connectors for use with medium voltage power systems up to 66kV.
No Time for Downtime | Resilient & Reliable Power Systems
Thorne & Derrick have been at the forefront of many critical national infrastructure projects supplying customers with world-class cable accessory products to build new medium voltage electrical systems; powering the renewable energy revolution and the digitalization of the world economy.
A combination of multiple major project wins by Thorne & Derrick during 2021 within the wind and data-centre sectors coupled with buoyant substation projects across other sectors has fuelled our impressive sales results.
“We look forward to our shared future together with Nexans and thank our customers for their business – 2021 was a record sales year for us in 36 years of trading. Our project experience and approved vendor status with key clients has enabled us to build a solid reputation for the reliable supply of Nexans products – we have a multi-million pound stock capacity at our Bristol location where orders can be supplied on next day delivery. This includes a complete offering for both the JTS & MONO heat shrink ranges of 11/33kV joints and terminations and the market-leading brand of Euromold connectors,” comments Chris Dodds (Sales & Marketing Manager at Thorne & Derrick).
“Congratulations to all our distribution network for a successful 2021 even in the face of adversity. Let’s hope we can further strengthen our relationships in 2022 and continue these record breaking years!” enthuses Joe Roberts (UK & Ireland Sales Manager at Nexans Power Accessories).
Innovation | New product launches including the JTS MV Joint have enabled Thorne & Derrick to increase market-share with power contractors. JTS provides unique design features developed to reduce installation time, minimise risk of failure and simplify installation by the cable jointer.
