Comet
are one of the most respected electrical retailers
in Britain today. They quickly realised to
potential of the internet for extending their
reach to you the customer. With this in
mind, you will notice that the Comet brand is
advertised on literally hundreds of quality
websites.
The
Company was founded in 1933 by George Hollingberry
in Hull as Comet Battery Stores Limited, a two man
business charging batteries and accumulators for
customer' wireless sets. The Company then moved in
to the ration rental business, and by 1939 had
2,500 accounts with a small fleet of vans.
The
launch of The Comet Price Index in November 1995
reinforced the company's commitment to price and
heralded its return to its "no nonsense,
straight talking" heritage with a definitive
guide to electrical products for the home
published every Saturday in the national media and
updated daily on Channel 4 Teletext.
Comet
was the first retailer to sign up to BBC Watchdogs
'Delivering the Goods' charter.
Formally
part of Kingfisher, which included B&Q, in 03
Comet demerges from the Kingfisher Group. Comet,
along with its sister electrical companies
throughout Europe are separated from Kingfisher to
form a new group known as KESA Electricals.
