Bellew Electrical Wholesale, headquartered in Crossmaglen, Co Armagh, has three other outlets – in Drogheda and Dundalk, Co Louth; and Castleblayney, Co Monaghan – selling electrical goods wholesale to the construction industry. It generated revenues of more than €30 million in the 12 months to the end of July 2022, with profits topping €3.1 million after tax.

“It’s a very fragmented market where there’s a lot of great independent electrical wholesalers working all across the country that are quite geographically focused,” Ms Dillon said. Growth will be driven both organically – through Bellew’s new distribution centre – but “also hopefully through partnerships with other electrical wholesalers”, she added.
