Good service, I only made my first purchase with CEF a few months ago and had a good experience in-store. This time was online, and was happy again. I will be using CEF again in the future, thank you.

Not just a Trade-only Supplier
Although the Heater I chose was not available over the counter at my local (Huntingdon) store, they were consistently helpful with pre-purchase information and my online order delivered promptly and well packed. Would recommend CES to Retail Customers - NOT just Commercial.
