We’re excited to announce the creation of a new group within Diploma’s Controls Sector, The Cable and Cable Accessories Group, combining the management of Cablecraft and FS Cables into one senior management team.

The combination of the two distinct commercial brands, gives our customers access to an even more extensive product range of cable accessories and specialist cabling, all from one single source. As a group we will share market expertise to enable cross selling opportunities to existing and new customers.

“The Cable and Cable Accessories Group offers an exciting opportunity for Cablecraft and FS Cables to strengthen and expand their service offerings in the electrical supply markets. The two highly regarded brands will remain and there will be no change of name to our customers. The Cable and Cable Accessories Group will focus on how to drive the strongest quality growth using our combined management, capability and scale. It gives us a strong platform to execute and integrate potential acquisition opportunities that complement the Group”, explains David Goode, CEO Controls Sector, Diploma.

The Cable and Cable Accessories Group’s new Managing Director, Mark Taylor comments, “It’s very much business as usual for both Cablecraft and FS Cables, as they will continue to deliver outstanding levels of customer service and quality products. By bringing the businesses together, sharing market knowledge, best practice and expertise, we will increase our potential to further improve our product offerings, service levels and operational performance”.

Whilst our core values, customer focus and dedication remain at the forefront of everything we do, we’re looking forward to the future and the exciting opportunities that the Cable and Cable Accessories Group will bring us.
