History
Anglia was founded in 1972 by Bill Ingram, now President of the organisation, who started the business from home as a sole trader. The initial operation was established to provide spare parts to the Radio and TV repair trade. As Anglia developed it moved to premises in Burdett Road, Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, UK. By 1980 Anglia had grown significantly and directed its efforts towards the electronics manufacturing industry.
The signing of numerous distribution agreements and the launch of several direct product brands throughout the 80's resulted in a move to an extensive stock holding and distribution centre in Sandall Road, Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, UK during 1992, where Anglia remains today.
The late 90's through to more modern day saw considerable expansion in Anglia, its supplier line card and product portfolio. During this period, Anglia created specialist divisions dedicated to developing technologies and set up a logistics and distribution operation in Hong Kong, gaining both Company of the Year and Distributor of the Year at the 2007 Elektra awards.
In recent times, Anglia has signed numerous distribution agreements with major semiconductor suppliers significantly enhancing its product profile. At the beginning of 2013 the company launched Anglia-Live, its e-commerce website, offering a comprehensive parametric search engine, live inventory, live pricing and online ordering.
