Independent electrical wholesalers Bellew Electrical Group has announced a partnership deal with Element3, a specialist provider of technical lighting solutions for large-scale and complex projects in Ireland and international markets.
Element3 will join the specialist division within the wider Bellew Group, strengthening the group’s technical capabilities and providing an established platform for further growth in the data centre market.
Element3 provides complete design, supply, commissioning and support services across lighting control systems, emergency lighting and lighting distribution. It works on major projects across data centres, healthcare, education, transport and large-scale commercial buildings.
It has completed hundreds of large-scale projects including more than 40 data centres across nine countries, giving it extensive experience in one of the fastest-growing areas of electrical infrastructure.
Today’s announcement follows Bellew Electrical’s partnership with Waterland in 2024, when the business secured significant investment to accelerate its growth strategy.
The wider Bellew Group has a workforce of over 300 people and generates annual revenues of €130m. It plans to grow revenue to €200m over the next 12 months, supported by organic expansion and further strategic acquisitions.
Ollie Bellew, CEO of Bellew Group, said that Element3 is an excellent business with deep technical expertise, a highly experienced team and a strong record of delivering complex projects in Ireland and internationally.
“Its capabilities in lighting controls, emergency lighting and lighting distribution complement our existing offering and will help us provide a broader service to customers across the group. We plan to invest in its people and capabilities, expand into new markets and support the team as they take the business into its next phase of growth,” he added.
Tony Kelleher, Managing Director of Element3, said that joining the Bellew Group gives Element3 the scale, resources and market reach to accelerate our growth while retaining the specialist expertise and customer focus that have driven our success.
“We have built Element3 by combining practical experience with a detailed understanding of how lighting performs in demanding environments. With Bellew’s support, we will grow our team, enter new markets and pursue further opportunities,” he stated.
