ND Electrical has been lighting up Wicklow for 25 years 

30 Jan , 2025  

ND Electrical is a one-stop shop for all your wholesale and retail electrical requirements with branches in Rathfarnham, Dublin 14 and Rathnew Co. Wicklow. 

Founded in August 1987 by directors Noel Dean and Dympna Dunworth, the company trades as ND Electrical Wholesalers in Rathfarnham and ND Electrical Supplies in Rathnew. This year marks 25 years of ND Electrical in Co. Wicklow, having originally opened a branch in Wicklow town before relocating to nearby Rathnew in 2006. 

During that time, ND Electrical has built up a large and loyal customer-base in the Garden County and continues to go from strength to strength on all fronts. 

“It all started in Nutgrove Avenue, Rathfarnham where we continue to operate from. Noel and Dympna opened a second branch in Wicklow town before moving to our current location in Rathnew 18 years ago,” Rathnew branch manager Simon Murphy explains. 

“There are six people employed in Rathnew and another 17 in Rathfarnham. It’s a real team effort between the two outlets which operate hand-in-hand. Customers can be assured of a top-class service no matter what branch they choose to do business with.” 

As an Irish-owned, independent electrical wholesaler, ND Electrical isn’t tied to any particular brand or buying group. “We are proud to be 100% Irish-owned and independent,” Simon says. 

“Our team has a wealth of knowledge of the trade and understands what electricians are looking for, which is quality products at value-for-money prices. Since 1987, we have played a key role in supplying contractors, wholesalers and the general public with all their electrical needs.” 

ND Electrical is one of the leading electrical suppliers in the greater Dublin area, providing a vast range of electrical products and solutions which are ready for immediate dispatch. The family-run business takes great pride in its customer service and product knowledge. And as an independently-owned company, it offers the personal touch that you just don’t get from large wholesalers. 

No customer order is too big or too small for ND Electrical whose product range includes cabling and accessories, CCTV, fire and security, heating and ventilation, lighting and luminaries, switchgear and distribution along with wiring accessories. The long-established electrical wholesaler represents all the market-leading brands, including Click Litehouse, Hager, Fluke, Garo Electric, ESPI, ROBUS Lighting, Farho Electric Heating, ATC Heating & Ventilation, EI Residential Fire & Carbon Monoxide Alarms, Ventilux Lighting, Saxby Lighting, EPH Controls, Greenlamp, SGD, OVIA and Fumagalli Lighting. 

ND Electrical carries a huge range of cable and accessories. Prysmian Cable is the largest manufacturer of cable in the world. This includes fire resistant cable, armoured cable and low smoke cable. Our wide range of cables are supplied by Precision Cables, EDL and Ledburn Cables. 

All essential security products are also stocked, including fire / smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. CTEC manufactures high-quality products such as conventional and addressable fire alarm systems and disabled refuge systems which are a big seller for ND Electrical. 

The company sources its Fahro range of electric heating solutions from South Coast Sales, including electric radiators, panel heaters and towel radiators. Its supplier ATC Ventilation offers an extensive range of ventilation solutions for every type of property. 

Furthermore, ND Electrical carries a full range of lighting and luminaries for domestic or industrial projects, stocking everything you need to install your new lighting products. From Busbar chambers, consumer units and distribution boards, the wholesaler also supplies the full range of Hager and Garo products. In addition, it stocks a wide range of white-moulded or decorative wiring accessories from Click Litehouse, MK, Hager, Iona. 

Repeat business and word of mouth have been central to the company’s growth and success. Having two branches means it has customers from Dublin, Wicklow and surrounding counties. Complete customer satisfaction is guaranteed regardless of the size of the order. 

“We’re busy all year round,” the affable branch manager reports. 

“Everything is selling well, from EV chargers and accessories to lighting products. We have a wealth of experience at the trade counter, are customer-focused and well stocked for a wide range of products. We don’t keep the customer waiting. Ninety-five per cent of the time, they’ll go out the door with what they came in for. We have a central warehouse nearby which has everything we need. 

“In the unlikely event of us not having a product in stock, we will have it within 24 hours. We always go the extra mile to ensure our customers are happy with our service and that they are getting the right product.”  

Opening hours in Rathfarnham are from 6.30am to 4.30pm Monday-Friday and from 7.30am to 4.30pm in Rathnew. Both branches are also open from 8.30am and 1pm on Saturdays. The early opening times cater, in particular, for the large volume of electricians who call in for products on their way to work. 

“All of the leading electricians in the area deal with us. They are always assured of a friendly, helpful and extremely knowledgeable service with an unrivalled product range. We are constantly keeping abreast of new products and the latest happenings in the industry to ensure our valued customers of the best possible service,” Simon concludes. 

ND Electrical would like to take this opportunity to thank its clients and suppliers for their continued support as well as its dedicated team for their hard work and expertise.
