CONTINUED EXPANSION THROUGH
CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
With nationwide coverage, TEC Electric motors offers a true 24/7 breakdown service.
When the AEMT last visited TEC Electric
Motors in 2016 (see Journal 16-2), they were
operating from a 65,000 square foot site
with stock levels of over £2 million. Three
years later, their stock levels have grown
exponentially to £12 million, and they have
consolidated their warehouse and offices into
a 100,000 square foot purpose build site on
the Hartlebury Trading Estate, Worcestershire.
TEC Electric Motors is a true success story,
where continued investment and growth
has seen the company relocate twice in the
past 12 years to keep pace with the needs
of its customers. Managing Director, Scott
Edwards has no doubt that the company’s
achievement is rooted in an enthusiastic
team that always puts the customer first.
They are one of the UK’s largest electric
motor distributors, offering a wide range of
products from stock as well as custom built
motor units, gearboxes and inverters. With

nationwide coverage, the company offers a
true 24/7 breakdown service that delivers
even on New Year’s Day!!
Established in 2006, the vision was to create
a motor distribution company that could be
relied upon to provide excellent customer
service backed by a wide range of high
quality, reliable products. The business model
was a success and within two years the
company had outgrown its original premises
and made its first move to accommodate the
expanding stock inventory.
EXPANDING BUSINESS
By 2011, the warehouse was overflowing and
demand continued to grow necessitating
the purchase of an additional site -making
space for the new gearbox department
and the specials division. All the while the
team continued to grow and with each new
addition, came increased product sales.
With a well-established headquarters in the
Midlands, the next step was to open the
TEC North branch near Sheffield in 2013.
This was closely followed by establishing
a base in Scotland one year later with the
opening of their Glasgow branch. Each of the
satellite branches has a mirrored stock profile,
albeit in reduced quantities, which ensures
customers’ needs are always met 24/7 365
days a year.
In 2018, the company achieved its biggest
year in terms of sales, surpassing the £17
million mark, a major achievement in just
12 years. So, how has this been achieved?
Scott Edwards explains: “There is no doubt
that everything we have accomplished is a
result of teamwork; we have created a group
of people that are dedicated to delivering
customer satisfaction.”
