What Scolmore Group does

Scolmore Group, operating through its parent entity Scolmore International Limited, is a privately held, family-owned UK manufacturer of electrical wiring accessories, circuit protection, lighting, security and fire protection products. Founded in 1989 and headquartered in Tamworth, Staffordshire, the group operates a multi-brand portfolio of 13+ sub-brands including Click Scolmore (the flagship wiring accessories brand), Ovia (lighting), ESP/Elite Security Products (security and fire), Unicrimp (cable accessories), Sangamo (heating controls and time switches), Elucian (consumer units and circuit protection), Click Smart+ (smart home), Scolmore OEM, IEC Lock and Espire. The technology backbone is the proprietary MiniGrid interchangeable module architecture, which spans multiple decorative ranges (Mode, Polar, Deco, Deco Plus, Definity, Definity Complete, Part M), supported by the GridPro yoke-free grid system and Click Flow plug-and-play lighting management connectors; Mode also features an independently tested antiviral/antibacterial coating achieving 99.9% kill-off against enveloped viruses.

The group's revenue model is B2B hardware sales, channelled primarily through UK electrical wholesalers via the 24/7 scolmoreonline.com ordering portal and a postcode-mapped Area Sales Manager network, with additional reach into Ireland, the Middle East and global export markets through dedicated Export Area Sales Managers and regional entities. Customer segments are split between electrical wholesalers and distributors, electrical contractors and installers, architects and specifiers, healthcare and hospitality, and luxury/new build residential developers. Trade-show presence spans all six ELEX regional shows and nationwide CEF TechTalk events, while digital engagement is driven by the Scolmore Group App (iOS/Android), a Marketing Hub, Bright Young Sparks apprentice programmes and Scolmore Connect community initiatives. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated via wholesaler channels.

The group holds 35 years of continuous BSI Kitemark certification, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, Cyber Essentials, JOSCAR (Ovia Limited) and a 2025 EcoVadis Gold Sustainability Medal (top 5% of 150,000+ companies globally). Operating geographies cover the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Middle East and global export markets; the group has recently opened a new flagship visitor centre in London's Canary Wharf to complement the Tamworth headquarters. No revenue figures, funding rounds, M&A activity, or external institutional investors are disclosed.

Direct peers

• Legrand UK: Legrand is one of the largest global manufacturers of wiring accessories, cable management and electrical systems with a major UK operation (including the Electrak and MK Electric brands). It directly competes with Scolmore's Click Scolmore and Elucian ranges across decorative plates, modular systems and consumer units.
• Hager UK: Hager is a leading UK and European manufacturer of consumer units, circuit protection and modular wiring accessories. It directly competes with Scolmore's Elucian consumer-unit range and Click Scolmore decorative and grid wiring accessories, sharing the same electrical wholesaler channel.
• MK Electric (Honeywell): MK Electric is one of the most recognised UK wiring accessory brands (owned by Honeywell), competing head-to-head with Click Scolmore in sockets, switches and decorative plates. MK's Logic Plus and Aspect ranges are direct substitutes for Scolmore's Mode and Definity Complete lines.
• Crabtree (Siemens): Crabtree is a heritage UK wiring accessory brand now part of Siemens' Low Voltage & Wiring Accessories portfolio. It competes with Scolmore's Click Scolmore range in residential and commercial wiring accessories, with comparable BS1363-certified sockets and switches.
• Deta Electrical: Deta is a UK-based manufacturer of wiring accessories, consumer units and ventilation products. It is a like-for-like competitor to Scolmore in the UK decorative and functional wiring accessories market, sharing the same electrical wholesaler distribution model.
• Contactum: Contactum is a UK manufacturer of wiring accessories, circuit protection and cable management products. It competes directly with Scolmore's Click Scolmore and Elucian ranges across decorative plates, modular systems and consumer units sold through UK wholesalers.

Broad incumbents

• Schneider Electric UK: Schneider Electric is a global broad-line electrical equipment incumbent with a UK wiring accessories offering (Schneider Lisse, Ultimate, etc.). While it competes with Scolmore in wiring accessories, Schneider's portfolio spans far more broadly into switchgear, building automation and energy management.
• Eaton UK (including Cooper Lighting): Eaton is a global power management incumbent with a UK wiring accessories and circuit protection portfolio. It overlaps with Scolmore's Click Scolmore and Elucian ranges but operates as a much broader power-management supplier across industrial and commercial segments.
• ABB UK Wiring Accessories: ABB is a global electrification, robotics and automation incumbent with a UK wiring accessories business (formerly Electrium and Wylex brands). It competes with Scolmore in consumer units, circuit protection and selected wiring accessory lines, but its UK presence is one product family among many.

Emerging players

• Luceco: Luceco is a UK-listed lighting, wiring accessories and EV-charger manufacturer that overlaps with Scolmore's Ovia lighting brand and parts of the Click Scolmore wiring accessories portfolio. It is a relevant emerging competitor, particularly in lighting and connected electrical solutions.
