PRESS RELEASE.
PLEASE DON’T CONFUSE GILLMAN’S ELECTRCIAL LTD WITH DOMESTIC APPLIANCE DISTRIBUTORS (D.A.D) TRADING UNDER JOHN GILLMAN & SONS LTD AS WE HAVE NO ASSOCIATION & ARE SEPARATE COMPANIES.
Dated: 30/08/2025
Domestic Appliance Distribution (D.A.D) In Administration.
No association with Gillman’s Electrical Ltd – We aren’t going anywhere!
In April 2022 the original name of the business ‘John Gillman and Son’s Electrical Ltd’ and the distribution part of the business D.A.D were sold to an investment company, at this time, it was the most successful and largest domestic white goods distributor within the UK.
It is with sadness that Gillman’s Electrical has learned that three years after the sale, D.A.D (John Gillman & Son’s Electrical Ltd) based in Northway Lane, Tewkesbury, and under the sole directorship of Alison Taylor has entered administration.
Our thoughts go out to the many employees who we understand have been made redundant, many of whom had worked for the Gillman family for many years, prior to the sale of the business.
We recognise the uncertainty and distress this will cause and extend our sincere best wishes to all those affected.
Gillman’s Electrical have confirmed that we continue to trade successfully with future plans to invest in the many parts of the business, such as retail, service, trade teams and our specialist commercial appliance teams.
We would also like to take this opportunity to reassure and thank our many loyal customers who continue to support Gillman’s that D.A.D (John Gillman & Sons Electrcial Ltd) have no association and is seprate business. Unfortunately we are being linked due to our previous trading name.
If any of our customers have questions or concerns you can contact us on 01452 528776, where we’re happy to clarify any confusion caused.
