What our clients say
Trusted by businesses, education providers, and creative professionals across the UK.
"Wex are not just our supplier. They support, advise and inspire the next generation of photographers and lens based artist who are professionals in training. Student and staff are on first name terms with Bobby and are always made to feel welcome with any queries and advise. We value our partnership and the opportunities of industry talks by suppliers, this enhances the student experience and builds industry connection for the future."
"I just wanted to say a massive thank you for the workshop you put on for us. It was such a great day and you covered so many really important elements to audio, which as a trade, we had no idea about. Everyone took away loads of tips and tricks and the lav placement was of real importance for us, considering audio is at least 50% of film making. You delivered the workshop in a way that was perfect for the audience, relaxed yet knowledgeable. People have already messaged me to say thank you and how much they learnt."
"I've been purchasing cameras and lenses through Chris at Wex Business for several years now, and he’s always been great to work with. He’s consistently responsive, knowledgeable, and goes the extra mile to make sure we get the right gear quickly and without hassle. As an SME, we don’t always have the buying power to work directly with manufacturers, but thanks to Chris we’re still able to access the equipment we need at very competitive, well-discounted prices. It makes a real difference having someone reliable we can count on."
"I have worked with WEX for over twenty years across military, police, and private sector procurement. Throughout this time, the B2B team has consistently demonstrated exceptional knowledge of their products and a genuine commitment to customer service. They are always willing to go the extra mile to ensure fast delivery and connect clients with experts who provide valuable insights on new and updated products. Their reliability and expertise make them a trusted partner in procurement."
"SnowFox Ltd has been purchasing specialist Cameras and Photography equipment from Wex since 2017. We find Wex very flexible on supplying detailed quotes with delivery timelines in order that we can then support our customers and clients in fulfilling their requirements. They consistently provide a great service backed up with fantastic technical knowledge."
