CEF (City Electrical Factors) was founded in 1951 in the UK and has grown to become the UK’s leading electrical wholesaler, with over 390 branches nationwide. In 1983, our North American arm, City Electric Supply (CES), was born — and together today we support customers across the UK, Ireland, Spain, Holland, Australia, the USA and Canada.
Our global IT team is at the heart of our future — leading the charge as we modernise core systems, adopt cloud-first and serverless technologies, and explore how automation and AI can create better experiences for our teams and customers. Our values are at the core of what we do, approaching our work with care, openness, curiosity, collaboration, and a genuine drive to deliver value.
We don’t pursue change for the sake of it. Every decision we make is purposeful — designed to make our business more effective, our tools more useful, and our people more empowered.
At City, you won’t be just a cog in the machine. You’ll be part of a down-to-earth, inclusive team that encourages ownership, celebrates experimentation, and backs each other to succeed. Whether you’re solving real-world challenges or shaping what comes next, your work here will matter.
If you're looking for a place where your contributions are seen, your ideas are welcomed, and your growth is supported — we’d love to meet you.
