Tradie-Tested, Industry-Approved: Why Lakes Electrical Distributors Is The Go-To Local Electrical Wholesaler

When it comes to sourcing electrical components, tools, and specialised gear for commercial, industrial, mining, and domestic jobs, local tradies and businesses across WA know who to call — Lakes Electrical Distributors.

They’ve built a reputation as a local electrical wholesaler that understands the ins and outs of working in some of Western Australia’s most demanding environments. 

But why do tradies keep coming back to them? Let’s find out, shall we?


From Goldfields Start-Up to Statewide Supplier — A Trusted Name in Electrical Supply

Lakes Electrical Distributors (also known as LED Group) has spent over 27 years supporting trade professionals across mining, industrial, commercial, and domestic sectors. From a humble three-person team in the Goldfields, they’ve grown into one of Western Australia’s leading electrical wholesalers, now boasting over 25 staff across Kalgoorlie, Perth, and Esperance.

The History

It all began in 1992, when Jim Fleming recognised the need for a high-quality electrical supplier in the Goldfields’ mining sector. His reputation for responsive local service and an extensive product range quickly led to major supply contracts with key mining operations.

  • 2000 – They expanded to Perth, supporting major electrical contractors and projects throughout WA.
  • 2001 – They opened their Esperance branch, serving Port Authority clients, local contractors, and industry partners. 

Today, their growing team continues to provide “Service Second to None,” led by General Manager Stuart Fleming, who proudly states:

“We pride ourselves on our 24 hour a day, 7 day a week, service second to none.”
