Essential Rewind
While we take a giant step forward into 2024, let's take the opportunity to look back at some of our greatest accomplishments and most notable events of 2023!
Starting with...
Leadership Shift
In August, we saw James Cottam take on his new role as Managing Director of Essential Supplies while company founder Simon James moves into Chairman position. After starting the company from the confines of a garage unit in 1997, Simon has skilfully grown Essential Supplies UK Ltd into a thriving business with over 20 full-time employees.
"From our humble beginnings 26 Years ago, supplying Uplighters, Ropes and Fixings to a handful of customers, we’ve come a long way. Only recently we’ve been supplying power solutions to events and organisations such as NHS Nightingale Hospitals, the 2021 Qatar World Cup and the International Olympic Committee – IOC!
In light of this growth, we are excited to share that James Cottam, after a hugely impactful year as Operations Manager, will now lead the way as our Managing Director. With a history in managing his family’s fabrication factory in Cornwall and a strong engineering background, James is no stranger to leading the way for a growing business.
Under James’ leadership, the Essential Supplies team have already seen the fantastic results of his input. The team are confident in his ability to uphold and elevate the standards, reliability and service that customers have come to expect from us."
Trade Pricing Structure
In September, we unveiled our new Trade Pricing structure. This structure rewards users who create an account with us, with up to 5% Discount on thousands of our products. The more you spend on our webstore, the more discount you will recieve - it's really that easy!
If you haven't already done this, then there's no better time than now to Create an Account with us!
Titan Power: Monitoring Range Launch
In October, Titan Power launched the Monitoring Range. This is a range of Advanced Power Distribution Boards that integrate Cloud Based Remote Metering and Control Software that records data through Ethernet, 4G or WiFi.
"One standout featuring of our Monitoring Range is the Personalised Experience. Hosted on the Cloud, the dashboard can be molded to precisely display the information you deem essential. What’s more, you can Link Multiple Devices across different locations, spanning distances of up to 10km. Get more out of your monitoring unit by Adding Features like Weather updates, Tariff tracking, Comprehensive Data Reports, Virtual Sensors, Proactive Actions & Alerts, and Archival Data Visualisation to your subscription package."
