Nevada Radio

What Nevada Radio does

Nevada Group is a privately-held Portsmouth, UK-headquartered company operating through four divisions: Nevada Distribution, Nevada PR, Nevada Radio Store (nevadaradio.co.uk), and Nevada Music Store (hamradiostore.co.uk). The flagship Nevada Distribution business positions itself as the UK's only independent specialist distributor of DAB Digital Radio and distributes amateur radio, CB radio, two-way PMR446 radios, scanning receivers, batteries, and power supplies from a multi-brand portfolio — including Pure Digital, Porsche Design, Eton, Roberts, Icom, Yaesu, Motorola, Alinco, Maha, AOR, Bearcat, and Uniden — to specialist retailers and major UK chains such as Harrods, John Lewis, Maplin Electronics, and Dixons Tax-Free Stores, with same-day dispatch on retailer orders.

The firm earns revenue through wholesale markup on distributed radio hardware (B2B sales to retailers), direct-to-consumer retail via its two e-commerce storefronts, and professional services fees from Nevada PR, which provides specialist public relations for technology and gadget clients with established relationships across national and local press, magazines, television, radio, and specialist media. Nevada also operates an own-label "Nevada" DAB Digital Radio brand and a Maha Energy UK battery and charger distribution line, and bundles in-house PR and design capabilities with distribution as a differentiated go-to-market offering for manufacturer clients.

The company employs approximately 19 people across all divisions and operates with contact-led, relationship-based sales via named principals Phil Jeffery (Distribution) and Marcia Brogan (PR). It is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, no app or API products, and no proprietary technology stack documented in available sources.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves4 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Others

• Scan Computers International: UK retailer of PC components, custom systems, and audio equipment serving enthusiast customers. Operates in adjacent product categories (audio, electronics) but uses a direct-to-consumer retail model rather than B2B distribution.
• Richer Sounds: UK hi-fi and audio equipment retailer operating stores nationwide. Serves similar end customers for audio products but uses a direct retail model rather than the B2B distribution approach Nevada employs.

Broad incumbents

• Exertis: One of the largest UK consumer electronics distributors with a broad portfolio spanning multiple product categories. Operates a similar B2B distribution model to UK retailers but serves mass-market segments where Nevada specializes in radio equipment.

Direct peers

• Midwich Group plc: UK-listed specialist AV distributor selling to retailers and integrators with a multi-brand portfolio. Operates a similar B2B distribution model focused on specialty consumer electronics, though at significantly larger scale and broader AV category scope than Nevada.
• Henley Audio: UK specialist hi-fi and audio equipment distributor serving independent retailers with a multi-brand portfolio. Highly comparable to Nevada's distribution model, though focused on hi-fi rather than radio equipment.
