Stearn Electric Co. Ltd has strengthened its commercial team with the appointment of David McBride as its new Regional Business Development Manager, reinforcing the company’s commitment to expanding its presence across the UK electrical and construction sectors.
McBride announced the move on LinkedIn, marking the beginning of a new chapter in his career. Reflecting on his first day with the business, he thanked Scott Champion, Duncan Love and Simon Nolan for the opportunity, adding that he was looking forward to “collaborating and developing business” and hinting at “good times ahead” as he embarks on his new role.
His appointment brings valuable industry knowledge and relationship-building expertise to Stearn Electric. Business development professionals play an increasingly important role within the electrical distribution sector, where long-term partnerships, technical support and supply chain reliability are becoming key differentiators. McBride’s experience in developing customer relationships and identifying growth opportunities is expected to support the company’s continued expansion and strengthen its engagement with contractors, consultants and end users.
Established in 1924, Stearn Electric has grown into one of the UK’s leading independent electrical wholesalers and distributors. The company supplies a comprehensive range of electrical products, lighting solutions, cable management systems, fire and security equipment, renewable technologies and industrial electrical components to customers across the commercial, industrial and infrastructure sectors.
Operating through an extensive network of branches supported by specialist project teams, Stearn is recognised for combining national purchasing power with local customer service. Alongside product supply, the business offers technical expertise, project support, logistics solutions and tailored procurement services to electrical contractors, engineers and facilities management professionals.
McBride joins the business at a time when investment in infrastructure, energy efficiency and building services continues to drive demand across the electrical market. His appointment reflects Stearn Electric’s ambition to strengthen customer relationships, identify new opportunities and support its long-term growth strategy.
As the company continues to invest in both its people and service offering, the addition of McBride represents another positive step in enhancing its commercial capability across the UK.
