Rexel UK Celebrates Official Grand Opening of New Lincoln Branch 

Rexel UK officially celebrated the grand opening of its brand-new Lincoln branch on Tuesday 30th of June, welcoming local tradespeople, key suppliers, and a very special piece of sporting silver wear to Unit 3, Bishops Trade Park. 

The purpose-built, trade-expert led facility, which initially opened its doors in May, welcomed the local community for a pack Trade Open Day full of live product demonstrations, exclusive opening day discounts, and plenty of networking. 

A Great Turn Out for the Community 

A major feature of the day was the appearance of the EFL Sky Bet Championship League One trophy. On-site for the full day, the iconic trophy drew a fantastic crowd of local contractors and football fans, giving visitors a unique opportunity to get up close and take photos throughout their visit. 

Industry Leading Support 

To help welcome the new branch into the heart of the Lincoln trade community, Rexel was joined by core manufacturing partners KSR Lighting and Schneider Electric. Customers had the opportunity to speak directly with the brand representatives, getting hands-on demonstrations of the latest electrical and technical solutions. 

The Lincoln branch stands out for its people. Staffed entirely by local experts recruited from the Lincoln area, including specialist who transitioned directly from the electrical trade, the new branch functions as a comprehensive technical hub. Local contractors can benefit from advanced on-site design services, renewables and solar support, and EV charging infrastructure solutions. 

Committed to the Local Trade 

With extended opening hours from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday to Friday, rapid local delivery options, and convenient next day collection, the new facility represents a significant investment in supporting the region's busy trade sector. 

“We've had an incredible response from customers since first opening our doors in May, but our official Grand Opening Day was the perfect way to bring everyone together. Having the League One trophy here alongside our partners at KSR and Schneider Electric created a great atmosphere on the trade counter. It really reflects the community spirit we wanted to bring to everything we do here in Lincoln. We are proud to be open, fully stocked, and ready to serve our local trade”
