Vic Coupland Est 1926 

From household electrical equipment to electrical contractors through to a highly regarded M&E company, we've come a long way since 1926 
Vic Couplands original shop on Hessle Road in Kingston Upon Hull. This shop serves as the foundation of the company’s journey. Here the local community could buy all the latest modern technology from Teasmades to battery powered Radios. 
Photo taken from inside our Hessle Road shop. This shop was used from 1926-1940, when Vic Coupland choose to move into the electrical contracting market rather than retail. 
An early road show that highlighted some of the latest technology available at the store. 
Vic Couplands first electrical contracting office. This building was used from 1940 till 1970. The Earl De Grey building next door was a popular haunt for Hulls seafarers but was sadly demolished in 2020 to make way for the new A63 upgrade scheme. The bricks where salvaged and stored for it to be re-built in the future in a new location. 
With the expansion of the company, a much larger office with workshop was required. Vic Coupland Electrical Ltd moved into the Myton Street offices in 1970 through to 1999, when the final move to Therm Road took place.
