Cables Trader

We are based in Dilshad Garden and we go by Cables Trader. As you can probably guess from the name, we mostly deal with all kinds of wires and electrical stuff. Our shop isn't very large and it is usually stacked floor to ceiling with heavy rolls of cable. It makes it a bit hard to move around sometimes. We spend most of our time checking inventory and talking to electricians who come in looking for something specific. Dilshad Garden has been our home for a while and we know most of the other shopkeepers on this block. We don't have a website or anything like that because we prefer just talking to people face to face. It’s more straightforward that way. Sometimes the shipments get delayed and we have to tell people to wait a day or two. We aren't a big corporation with fancy uniforms. We just wear our regular clothes and get to work. It gets quite dusty with all the cardboard boxes and plastic around. Some days are slow and we just sit and have tea. Other days everyone wants something at the same time. We just take it as it comes and try to be helpful to anyone who walks in. We have a small table in the corner where we do the accounts. It’s always messy with papers but we know where everything is. My younger brother helps me on the weekends when the market is busy. We just keep the business running one roll of wire at a time.
