About Us
NE Appliances is the largest independent retailer of kitchen appliances in the South West, offering a full kitchen solution with appliances and kitchens all under one roof in our Bristol appliances and kitchen showroom.
History
Now Bristol’s largest independent appliance retailer, NE Appliances began life in 1982 when Peter Gilks opened an electrical retail shop in Nailsea, just outside of Bristol, called Nailsea Electrical. A few years later, Peter opened a second shop in Bristol on the Gloucester Road, and in 1988 was crowned HTV’s Young Businessman of the Year. NE Appliances is still family-owned, now run by Peter’s son, Benjamin Gilks, who won Young Entrepreneur of the Year in 2013 and has built the business into an award-winning retailer of appliances and kitchens in Bristol.
In 2020, Nailsea Electrical was rebranded to NE Appliances and the business invested in a brand-new website and a purpose-built kitchen and appliance showroom in Hengrove, Bristol. The store boasts the largest displays of built-in appliances, refrigeration and range cooking in the South West plus with the new addition of a kitchen showroom for its sister company 102 Kitchens in 2022, NE Appliances now offers a total kitchen solution.
