Wellingtons Electrical: Upholding our traditional values in the 21st Century – Where the customer always comes first!

Since its inception in 1898, Wellingtons Electrical has been a steadfast presence in Bexley Road, evolving with the times while maintaining a deep-rooted commitment to the local community.

Founded by Agnes Mercy Vowles and her husband Frank Wellington as a humble clothing shop, Wellingtons has transformed into a leading electronics retailer, reflecting over a century of adaptation and growth.
