Great staff at this branch always extremely helpful even when I give the most obscure item to locate. Go above and beyond in some circumstances to ensure the items are delivered on time.

Strange way to conduct business Lies…
Strange way to conduct business Lies and poor communication.
Branch manager quotes a price structure in writing for a big project we are working on and when checking prices we find they are not applying any form of discounts as agreed. I raised my concerns with the manager and the local accounts department and I have been totally ignored, not a single reply or any form contact.
We have now moved on to a different supply who do what they say and we wont be using CEF ever again.

Thank you for your review and feedback.
We are extremely sorry that on this occasion we have not provided you with an acceptable level of service, please accept our sincere apologies.
I would like to get this looked into but I am afraid no contact details are provided against this review and your order number/quote numbers is not noted for me to obtain, so we are unable to get in contact with you by phone or email, please could you e-mail customer.services@cef.co.uk with your contact details and that this is in reference to a Trustpilot review and one of our team will contact you by return to discuss this issue and obtain further details.

Telephoned the Isle of Wight branch yesterday regarding a much needed replacement for an in-line extractor fan. This prompted a visit to Newport and after much assistance and research into a comparable alternative to the one I needed replacing, I was on my way back home and the new one fitted in no time. Excellent service and a fair price resulting in me wishing to add a review.
