About our Company

At Marks Electrical, we have been selling the best of home appliances and televisions to the public since 1987. We stand today as an independent elite retailer and one of the largest members of the buying group Euronics. We pride ourselves on our achievements and the accolades we've been honoured to accept, including Best Website at the IER Awards. We have recently started selling fitted kitchens in addition to appliances and we have a dedicated website for this.

We've moved our showroom away from the hustle and bustle of the city traffic in Leicester and put it at the heart of our Boston Road headquarters, near Beaumont Shopping Centre. Our 12,000 sq. ft. site is now the centre of operations and holds over 5,000 products, with the latest technologies proudly displayed in-store.

The showroom includes a dedicated Miele centre, which is thought to be the biggest display of the manufacturer's goods in the Midlands. There's also a state-of-the-art television area, with TVs all the way up to 8K displaying dazzling images. We also have some of our fitted kitchens on display to give people a taste of that side of the business.
