Anglia Components, one of the UK’s longest established distributors of electronic components, expects double the industry’s average predicted growth as we emerge from the challenging times of recent years. Founded in 1972, Anglia will grow by 10% in 2026, reckons CEO Steve Rawlins, twice the mid-range prediction of industry association Electronic Components Supply Network (ECSN).
Rawlins – who will celebrate 50 years at Anglia next year – believes that the company’s continued independence has helped it innovate and remain financially very strong. “We enjoy very good relations with our bankers, and are delighted to recognise HSBC as our exclusive funders”, he explains. “As we enter the 12th successive year of partnership with HSBC, we would like to thank them for all their help and support over this period.”
Despite the challenges of the post-Covid years, Anglia has introduced several new initiatives which are driving the business forward. Semiconductor giant, STMicroelectronics (ST) encouraged Anglia to extend its Anglia Live e-commerce platform to cover the EU as well as the UK and Ireland, and that business is building steadily, expanding Anglia’s available market and customer base hugely. Anglia has also introduced a customer loyalty scheme, free-sampling service and various eco initiatives, all in the last two years.
“We have been able to grow because we have always kept solid financial foundations”, concludes Rawlins. “Every company needs prudent fiscal acumen, and with the long-standing and continued support of HSBC, Anglia is expertly positioned to support customers in the UK and across Europe for many years to come.”
