Welcome to Hylands
Established in 1938 Hylands are shareholders in Europe's largest electrical buying group and carry large warehouse stocks ready for immediate collection or fast home delivery within our service area. We stock a wide range of products from leading brands with access to many more so if we don’t have what you are looking for, please ask us.
Hylands offer the choice of a national store without losing the personal, traditional and efficient service you would expect from an independent family run business.
We also offer a comprehensive installation service so we can take care of our customers better from start to finish.
We are very competitive on price; often the same or cheaper than our competitors, however if you are looking for a price match then please ask. We will always do our best, price matches will generally be against reputable retailers with new (not graded) goods which are in stock and on a like for like basis including services such as delivery.
So why shop local?
We think it’s very important to consider ....
Electricals are not like other products, problems can occur and if you have issues having somewhere local with familiar staff you can visit or call makes life a lot easier.
Plus as a family business we actively try to support other local firms for our own needs to keep money in the local economy.
Just one example would be a large company will use a firm of national accountants where 100 local stores would all have local accountants
The local accountants would then in turn have their own day to day running needs for their businesses
Accountants are just one example, every firm has many needs to operate, large firms may appear to bring in jobs, in reality behind the scenes they often don't as far more & better jobs are lost when smaller firms & those that supply them close, we employ many local people - and the more customers we have the more staff we need to look after them.
If cash coming into an area - gets spent in that area, as more cash continues to come in the area as a whole becomes better off and a nicer place to live with more & more cash going around - & what goes around comes around as they say - you may even get to see more of it yourself
However, when cash is spent with outside firms, this is taking money out of the economy, the more money that is taken out, the less cash that area has & poorer the area becomes, especially when more is going out than coming in - it's just the same as with your own finances, if your spending more out than you are bringing in your household will become worse off
Outside firms are like tree’s - sending roots into surrounding areas (or countries) to feed their own growth
Sorry to bore you but we strongly believe the above to be true, getting local people to shop local isn't easy as many a High Street now shows, but where you can shop locally (online even) then give those companies a try and let them compete for your custom - you may be surprised what local firms can offer you
