EB Horsman’s 125-Year Legacy: Spotlight on Our Kamloops Branch

As EB Horsman & Son continues to celebrate 125 years of service, we turn the spotlight to our Kamloops branch. Originally established in 1956, our Kamloops branch has been a key part of EB Horsman for nearly 70 years. The branch has operated from its current location since the early 1980s, proudly serving the region with a commitment to quality, expertise, and personalized support. Led by Branch Manager Wade Molett, our Kamloops team consists of 13 employees, each bringing a wealth of experience and passion to their roles.

Our Kamloops branch stands out with a strong local inventory and fast, knowledgeable counter service. The inside and outside sales teams are among the most experienced in the region, and our technical inside sales support continues to be one of our most valued services. We're also known as a trusted source for Signify lighting products.

Customers often highlight how much they appreciate our fast, helpful service and how we truly listen and adapt to their needs. We regularly update our stock to keep pace with evolving customer demands. Behind this great service is a team that’s well-trained and supported to consistently exceed expectations.

We offer specialized services designed to help our customers operate efficiently. These include:

• Customer-owned Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) programs.
• Tailored solutions and support from a team that understands your business.
• Our in-branch wire-cutting service is especially valued by contractors and project managers who require precise lengths quickly and conveniently. It helps save time on the job site, reduces material waste, and keeps projects on schedule.

Our team is highly responsive and focused on stocking the right products to meet evolving customer needs. With a solutions-based approach, we ensure our team is equipped with the tools, training, and knowledge to consistently exceed expectations.

Our Kamloops branch proudly takes an active role in fostering connections and supporting important causes through a variety of events, including:

•  Monthly counter days that bring together customers and supplier partners
•  Summer food truck events to add fun and flavour to our gatherings
•  Fundraising initiatives in support of the BC Children’s Hospital Foundation (BCCHF)
• Supplier trade shows that showcase the latest products and innovations

From creating memorable experiences to supporting our community, our Kamloops team is always finding ways to make a difference.

Our Kamloops branch is full of great stories that reflect the strength and spirit of our team. One standout example is a former Siemens sales representative who joined us 22 years ago and remains a valued member of our team today. With over 125 years of combined staff tenure, the depth of experience in our branch is truly remarkable. One employee has even retired twice and keeps coming back, which speaks volumes about the positive and welcoming culture we’ve built. We also believe in promoting from within, supporting career growth and retaining talented individuals who understand our customers, our values, and what it means to be part of the EB Horsman family.

With an impressive 4.7-star rating on Google Reviews, our Kamloops branch is recognized for its outstanding customer service, deep product knowledge, and strong community involvement. Whether you're sourcing commercial electrical products, looking for smart lighting solutions, or need expert advice for your next project, our Kamloops team is ready to support you every step of the way.

But don’t just take our word for it—here’s what one of our Kamloops customers had to say:

"Really friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great selection of electrical products, and they can order stuff in if they don't have it in stock. They do counter sales too - you may want to give the ma try instead of heading over to the big box."
