Northern Connectors

Northern Connectors is a specialist distributor of industrial connectors and components that provide simple solutions for technical problems.

The company was established over 35 years ago by husband and wife team Keith and Linda Hewitt. From humble beginnings trading from a small unit in St Helens with initially just one franchise agreement, the business has grown to become a celebrated and successful company which represents over ten of the industry’s top connector manufacturers.

Northern Connectors remains a family run business with both first and second generation now involved in the day-to-day running of the company.
