Recycling Lives

Edit request: lead update, founding history, leadership and recognition (COI declared)

Conflict of interest declaration: I am Steven Jackson OBE, the founder of Recycling Lives. I have made a full conflict of interest disclosure on my user page at User:Maperouze. Per WP:COI I am not editing the article directly. I am posting the proposed updates below for independent editors to consider. Every proposed change is supported by independent secondary sources and by the public record at Companies House.

The current article is materially out of date. The most significant issues are:

1. It still describes me as the company's "current chief executive". I stepped down as Chairman of the group in October 2020 and exited the group fully in 2020, selling all my shares in the commercial entities and resigning as trustee and member of the charity. I have had no role with the brand since.
2. It gives a turnover figure of approximately £25 million and an employee count of around 200, both of which had grown substantially by 2018–2019.
3. It omits the company's third and fourth Queen's Awards for Enterprise, the EY UK Entrepreneur of the Year award (2019), the 2018 Three Hills Capital Partners investment, and the 2020 leadership transition.
4. The founding chronology can be tightened with reference to Companies House: the charity entity (Recycling Lives Charity, Companies House 05781363) was incorporated on 13 April 2006; the integrated social-enterprise model that the press most commonly dates to 2008 was the consolidation of the charity with the commercial recycling business.

Proposed change 1: Lead paragraph

Current text:

"Recycling Lives Limited is a British recycling and waste management company headquartered in Preston, Lancashire... [Steven Jackson, OBE and current chief executive, founded the company]."

Proposed text:

"Recycling Lives is a British social-enterprise group combining a commercial recycling and waste management business with a registered charity supporting ex-offenders and people experiencing homelessness, headquartered in Preston, Lancashire. The group's charity entity, Recycling Lives Charity, was incorporated on 13 April 2006, and the integrated social-enterprise model under which the commercial business funded the charity's work was launched in 2008. The group was founded by Steven Terence Jackson OBE, who exited the group fully in 2020. By 2018 the group reported sales of £75 million and pre-tax profits of £7.3 million, employing approximately 400 staff across 19 sites nationally, of whom around 40 per cent were ex-offenders. Recycling Lives has received four Queen's Awards for Enterprise across the Sustainable Development and Promoting Opportunity categories, and its founder was named EY UK Entrepreneur of the Year in 2019."

Proposed change 2: New "Recognition" section

Add a new section after "Charity":

==Recognition==

Recycling Lives has received four Queen's Awards for Enterprise:

• 2010 — Queen's Award for Enterprise: Sustainable Development
• 2014 — Queen's Award for Enterprise: Sustainable Development
• 2018 — Queen's Award for Enterprise: International Trade
• 2019 — Queen's Award for Enterprise: Promoting Opportunity through Social Mobility

The group's founder, Steven Terence Jackson, was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire in the 2013 New Year Honours for services to employment and the community in Lancashire, and was named EY UK Entrepreneur of the Year in November 2019, going on to represent the United Kingdom at the EY World Entrepreneur of the Year final in Monaco in 2020.

Proposed change 3: New "Investment, founder exit and leadership transition" subsection

Add to the company history section:

===Investment, founder exit and leadership transition (2018–2020)===

In late 2018, the private equity firm Three Hills Capital Partners invested more than £50 million for a 21 per cent stake in Recycling Lives. In October 2020, founder Steven Jackson stepped down as Chairman and chief executive William Fletcher MBE also departed; Andrew Hodgson, formerly head of finance for manufacturing at BAE Systems Samlesbury, was appointed executive chairman. Jackson exited the group fully in 2020, selling all of his shares in the commercial entities and resigning as trustee and member of the charity.

I am happy to respond to questions about any of these proposed changes here on the Talk page. Thanks to any reviewing editor for considering. Maperouze (talk) 10:04, 21 May 2026 (UTC)

@Maperouze:, I will allow another editor to review your third request, but the first two are promotional. The first has tone issues as it is written in a manner that promotes the charity. The second is a list of awards that are industry or governmental awards. We try to avoid these for company pages. --CNMall41 (talk) 20:20, 25 May 2026 (UTC)

Donald Machholz

Donald Machholz Death Location

My husband’s page has the incorrect death location.

I am Michele Machholz, spouse of Donald Machholz, astronomer and visual comet discoverer.

He died in our home in Wikieup, Arizona where we resided together.

Please help correct.

Here is supporting documentation of death location: https://astronomy.com/news/2022/08/donald-machholz-prolific-comet-hunter-dies-at-age-69

Thank you. MicheleMachholz (talk) 13:50, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

Donald (Don) Machholz, an amateur astronomer who co-invented the Messier marathon and visually discovered 12 comets that now bear his name, died early yesterday morning (Aug. 9) at his home — called “Stargazer Ranch” — in Wikieup, Arizona. He was 69 years old. Here is supporting documentation of death location: https://astronomy.com/news/2022/08/donald-machholz-prolific-comet-hunter-dies-at-age-69 MicheleMachholz (talk) 14:16, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

I've marked this as an edit request so it will be seen by other editors. 331dot (talk) 14:30, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

MicheleMachholz, I ran across this edit request and took care of it. Please review it, and if there is anything about the style or wording you would like changed, I am happy to do it. I am sorry for your loss. Peacedance (talk) 17:11, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

331dot, I ran across this edit request and took care of it based on the source provIded, but don't know how to remove it from the backlog. Could you help? Thanks. Peacedance (talk) 17:09, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

Proposed addition to Career section (sourced)

I am proposing the addition of the following sentence to the Career section, immediately after the opening sentence (“He spent more than 9,000 hours comet hunting…”): From 1978 to 2000, Machholz authored a monthly column titled Comet Comments for the Association of Lunar and Planetary Observers (ALPO), which was distributed internationally to astronomy clubs and individual observers. Source: Jake Parks, “Donald Machholz, comet hunter and co-inventor of Messier marathon, dies at age 69,” Astronomy, August 10, 2022. I have a declared conflict of interest as Machholz’s spouse and am therefore requesting review and placement by an independent editor. MicheleMachholz (talk) 02:37, 29 December 2025 (UTC)

Edit request: clarification of comet discovery terminology

Request:

Request: Multiple reliable independent sources describe Donald Machholz as a “visual comet discoverer,” including Sky & Telescope, Astronomy Magazine, EarthSky, and Space.com. In astronomical literature, this terminology distinguishes direct visual comet discovery from discoveries made through automated survey programs. I am requesting that this terminology be reflected in the lead and career summary for factual and technical accuracy.

Proposed wording: “Donald Machholz was an American visual comet discoverer and amateur astronomer.”

Examples of source language:

• Sky & Telescope: “one of the world’s leading visual comet discoverers”
• EarthSky: “visual comet discoverer”
• Space.com: “comet observer” and discussion of visual comet hunting
• Astronomy Magazine: “comet hunter”

Sources:

• https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-news/remembering-donald-machholz-1952-2022/
• https://earthsky.org/human-world/don-machholz-1952-2022/
• https://www.space.com/comet-observer-don-macholz-tribute
• https://www.astronomy.com/science/donald-machholz-comet-hunter-and-co-inventor-of-the-messier-marathon-dies-at-age-69/

Disclosure: I have a conflict of interest as Machholz’s spouse and am therefore requesting review and implementation by an independent editor. MicheleMachholz (talk) 01:07, 21 May 2026 (UTC)

Richard Renaldi

Edit Request: Opening Paragraph & Publications Section

Hello, I have a conflict of interest as the subject of this article and am therefore requesting that an independent editor make the following updates:

1. In the opening paragraph, please change:

"His four main books each contain portraits..."

To:

"His six main books each contain portraits..."

2. In the same paragraph, please add the following two books to the list, after Manhattan Sunday (2016):

I Want Your Love (2018)

Billions Served (2025) — published by The Deadbeat Club

3. Please also add the following three books to the Publications section:

• I Want Your Love (2018) • Billions Served (2025) — published by The Deadbeat Club • Lost IV (Series) (2024) — a collaborative small book with photographer Kris Graves, part of his Lost Series

Thank you for your consideration. I'm happy to provide sourcing or additional details if needed.

  Unable to review  
Your edit request could not be reviewed because the request is not formatted correctly.

1. The citation style predominantly used by the Michael Jones article appears to utilize ref tags. The citation style used in the edit request consists of bare URL's. Any requested edit of yours which may be implemented will need to resemble the current style already in use in the article – in this case, the use of ref tags.
2. These ref tags have not been placed within the requested text indicating which portions of the text the source is referencing. (See WP:INTEGRITY.)

In the collapsed section below titled Request edit examples, I have illustrated two: The first shows how the edit request was submitted; the second shows how requests should be submitted in the future.

Request edit examples

INCORRECT

The Sun's diameter is 864,337.3 miles, while the Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles. The Sun's temperature is 5,778 degrees Kelvin.

https://www.booksource.com
https://www.journalsource.com
https://www.websource.com

In the example above there are three URL's provided with the claim statements, but these URL's have not been placed using ref tags, which is the style predominantly used by the Michael Jones article. Additionally, the ref tags have not been placed within the text at the exact positions where the information they reference resides. Using the correct style and the correct positioning of the ref tags, the WikiFormatted text should resemble the following:

CORRECT

The Sun's diameter is 864,337.3 miles,<ref>Tristan Sjöblad, "The Sun" http://www.booksource.com, Academic Press, 2018. Page 1</ref> while the Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles.<ref>Paramjit Harinath, "Size of the Moon" Science, issue 78 volume 51. http://www.journalsource.com 2018, page 46.</ref> The Sun's temperature is 5,778 degrees Kelvin.<ref>Shu Uemura, "The Sun's Heat." http://www.websource.com Academic Press, 2018. Page 2.</ref>

Which displays as:

The Sun's diameter is 864,337.3 miles, while the Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles. The Sun's temperature is 5,778 degrees Kelvin.

References

In the example above the references have been formatted using ref tags, which shows the author, the source's name, date, etc. Also, the ref tags are placed in the exact location where the text which they reference resides. As Wikipedia is a volunteer project, edit requests such yours are generally expected to have this formatting done before the request is submitted for review.

Kindly rewrite your edit request so that it aligns more with the second example shown in the collapsed section above, and feel free to re-submit that edit request at your earliest convenience. If you have any questions about this formatting please don't hesitate to ask myself or another editor. Regards,  Spintendo  18:44, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

Notes

27-JUN-2019

The larger issues here are the use of Companies founded when not all of the information under Companies founded are actually companies that the subject founded. A large portion of them are ones where he effected an advisory role, a phrase which itself is non-descriptive. Better context should be provided as to what the subject did in each instance, and how their role was pivotal to these companies being both founded and "advised" by the subject. Without that information, this is simply a recounting of the subject's work history, which would fall under WP:NOTRESUME. Regards,  Spintendo  06:02, 27 June 2019 (UTC)

  Clarification requested  

• Thank you for providing clarification, it is much appreciated.
• Unfortunately however, although the added clarifications state developments which occurred within each respective organization during the time the subject worked there, those clarifications do not state specifically what it was about the subject's role in those organizations which merits the information being placed in this article. Please elaborate by stating how and in what way their role in those organizations either led to those developments or enabled those developments to take place.
• Additionally, the claim regading Myspace could not be added to the article because a specific timeframe was not described in the suggested prose.
• Kindly open a new edit request at your earliest convenience when ready to proceed with the requested clarifications. Thank you!

Edit request

Hi there, is it possible to make a couple of edits?

1. Add Liquid Death to this sentence in the Business Career --> Science Inc. section? Other startups that have come from Science include Liquid Death, DogVacay, Hello Society, HomeHero, FameBit, Delicious, Playhaven, Kyoku, and Quarterly.
2. Remove the maintenance template about bare URLs because I think the bare URLs have been removed?

Thank you so much!

Proposed change

Is it possible to make the update below? Thank you!

• Specific text to be added or removed: Change 3rd sentence to:

Jones was named one of Los Angeles's 500 most influential people by the Los Angeles Business Journal in 2014, 2017 and 2020 - 2024.

• Reason for the change: Updating for accuracy and to reflect all the years he was included.
• References supporting change: See sources above.

@Actualcpscm @Ptrnext @Spintendo Hi all, just seeing if you might have any thoughts here, since you've graciously reviewed previous edit requests? Thank you, appreciate your time!

Wikidelrey (talk) 00:11, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

This award seems rather WP:UNDUE for one of two sentences in the lead. I have removed it altogether as I don't see an obvious place in the body for it to go, please feel free to suggest a wording/location in a followup request. Rusalkii (talk) 08:02, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

Gotcha! Would it be ok to add this to the bottom of the Science Inc. section?

Due to his role at Science, Jones was named one of Los Angeles's 500 most influential people by the Los Angeles Business Journal in 2014, 2017 and 2020 - 2024.

Wikidelrey (talk) 21:14, 14 August 2024 (UTC) Wikidelrey (talk) 21:14, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

Okay, on reflection I think this is probably inappropriate anywhere, using the rule of thumb that an award is WP:DUEWEIGHT to include if it has its own Wikipedia page. It appears to have been originally added by an IP in 2017 that also added a bunch of promotional cruft. Rusalkii (talk) 22:54, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

Ok, thank you for taking a look! Wikidelrey (talk) 01:22, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

Edit request: add public speaking/media section

I have a conflict of interest (I am the subject of this biography), so I’m posting this as an edit request for an uninvolved editor to review.

• **Request:** Please add a short, neutral section (suggested placement: after "Business career", before "Personal life") summarizing notable public speaking and media appearances, avoiding promotional language and avoiding long resume-like lists.
• **Proposed wikitext:**

<nowiki>

Edit request

Making a few small edit requests, if possible! Really appreciate the consideration.

• What I think should be changed (#1): Add Final Boss Sour & Mindset care to this sentence in "Science Inc." section: Other startups that have come from Science include Liquid Death, where Jones sits on the board; Final Boss Sour; Mindset Care...
• Why it should be changed: Adding additional Science-backed companies that Mike is involved with.
• References supporting the possible change (format using the "cite" button):

• What I think should be changed (#2): In the last graf of the "Science Inc." section, add this as the 2nd sentence: The Science Ventures division of the company raised another $50 million round in 2020.
• Why it should be changed: Adding the most up-to-date funding information from Mike's company Science.
• References supporting the possible change (format using the "cite" button):

Niamul Mukta

Edit Request: Updating filmography and current production status

Hello. I have a professional connection to Chilekotha Films and Niamul Mukta, so I am submitting this edit request here on the Talk page rather than editing the article directly, in compliance with Wikipedia's COI guidelines.

I would like to request an update to the biography and filmography section to accurately reflect the current status of his projects, using standard neutral language as pointed out by reviewers.

Could an independent editor please update the page with the following factual details?

@Sonet42:, thanks for the disclosure. I reformatted the filmography so it will be easier to add your request. However, prior to being able to do so, can you supply sources showing the release dates of the films? The sources show the one receiving a grant but no real information about either. --CNMall41 (talk) 23:16, 25 May 2026 (UTC)

Thomas More Society

Add Mirabelli v. Bonta to litigation section

Disclosure: I am an employee of Thomas More Society and am disclosing this in accordance with Wikipedia's paid-contribution disclosure requirement. I am not editing the article directly; I am proposing this addition for review by an uninvolved editor.

Proposed addition: The article does not currently mention Mirabelli v. Bonta, a case in which Thomas More Society served as counsel and which reached the U.S. Supreme Court in 2026. I propose adding the following paragraph to the section covering the firm's education-related litigation, after the existing paragraph on the Aztec and Ashe prayers settlement: In Mirabelli v. Bonta, Thomas More Society represented two California teachers and a group of parents challenging school district and state policies that limited disclosure to parents about students' gender identity at school. In December 2025, U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez issued a class-wide permanent injunction against the policies. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit stayed the injunction in January 2026. On March 2, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court, in a 6–3 per curiam ruling on its emergency docket, vacated the Ninth Circuit's stay, holding that the parents were likely to succeed on Free Exercise Clause and Due Process Clause claims. Justice Barrett wrote a concurrence joined by Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Kavanaugh; Justice Kagan wrote a dissent joined by Justice Jackson. On March 17, 2026, the Ninth Circuit denied California's request to narrow the Supreme Court's ruling. Sources: Mark Lieberman, "Supreme Court Backs Parents in School Gender Disclosure Fight," Education Week (March 3, 2026): https://www.edweek.org/policy-politics/supreme-court-backs-parents-in-school-gender-disclosure-fight/2026/03 "Supreme Court ruling in gender identity case favors parents but could test schools," Chalkbeat (March 7, 2026): https://www.chalkbeat.org/2026/03/07/supreme-court-gender-identity-ruling-favors-parents-but-challenges-schools/ Mirabelli v. Bonta, 607 U.S. ___ (2026), per curiam, available at https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/607/25a810/ SCOTUSblog case file, Mirabelli v. Bonta: https://www.scotusblog.com/cases/case-files/mirabelli-v-bonta/ Rationale: Mirabelli v. Bonta is a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in which Thomas More Society served as counsel of record on the emergency application. It received national coverage in independent education trade press, has a published opinion, and is tracked on SCOTUSblog. The article currently includes several cases of lesser national profile in which the firm participated, so omitting a Supreme Court matter the firm directly litigated leaves a notable gap. I have drawn the wording from independent sources rather than the firm's own materials and have used neutral terminology. Thank you for considering this request. KPWriter (talk) 14:56, 20 May 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for the disclosure. I have added a template above your request that will put it on a list of requested edits that will be seen by those not usually editing this page - they aren't likely to get to it quickly, and it's more likely that someone who regularly edits this page will take it on first, but that's a backstop measure to make sure it doesn't fall completely through the crakcs. I will note that while you suggested that this go in the "Education" section, it would be at least as good a fit in the "LGBT issues" section. I am not adding it at this point because, before addition as submitted based primarily on education-related sources, an editor should look for sources coming from other angles such as those concerned with LGBT issues regarding how the case is cast. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 15:37, 20 May 2026 (UTC)

The Golden Dream

Request to update/expand article sections and sources

I would like to request the following changes and expansions to the article. I have a conflict of interest, so I am requesting review by an uninvolved editor rather than editing the article directly. The proposed changes are supported by the sources listed below.

1. Update the lead section

I would like to request the following changes to the lead section:

• Please remove the citation currently using this archived Film School Rejects review: https://web.archive.org/web/20131204140334/http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/reviews/cannes-2013-review-the-golden-cage-is-too-miserable-for-its-own-good.php
• Reason: This appears to be a review source and may not be the strongest citation for lead-section factual claims. A more reliable or more directly relevant source would be preferable.
• Please update the Mar del Plata Film Festival link from: http://www.mardelplatafilmfest.com/en/edicion/28/28o-festival to: https://www.mardelplatafilmfest.com/39/en/edicion/28
• Reason: The information isn't found on the current link.
• Please remove this part: "also known as The Golden Cage"
• Reason: No country used the title for the theatrical release.
• Please change the spelling of the director's last name: from "Diego Quemada-Díez" to "Diego Quemada-Diez"
• Reason: To reflect standard usage in English-language sources.

2. Update the Cast section

I would like to request the following additions to the cast section:

• Please add internal links to the names of the main cast members so that each actor’s name links to their Wikipedia page.
• Brandon López [https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandon_L%C3%B3pez]
• Rodolfo Domínguez [https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodolfo_Dom%C3%ADnguez]  
• Karen Noemí Martínez [https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karen_Mart%C3%ADnez_(actriz_guatemalteca)]  
• Please add a photograph of the film’s cast to appear within the Cast section, following Wikipedia’s image use policies.
• https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Foto_premiere_jaula.jpg
• Suggested caption: Brandon Lopez, Karen Martinez, Diego Quemada-Diez, Rodolfo Dominguez at La Jaula de Oro premiere in Mexico city

3. Add a new section: Production

Please consider adding the following section:

San Clemente, Venice

Proposed neutral update to current use and location wording

I have a disclosed professional connection with San Clemente Palace Venice and would like to propose a neutral, sourced update to the article. I am not requesting promotional language; the aim is to make the current-use wording more accurate, concise and encyclopedic.

Suggested change: Please replace the current final paragraph of the History section with the following wording:

The church was restored in 2003 as part of a wider project that adapted the adjacent buildings for hotel use. The complex now forms part of San Clemente Palace Venice on San Clemente Island, in the Venetian Lagoon. The hotel’s published visitor information describes a scheduled boat connection between San Clemente Island and San Marco of approximately 10 minutes. In 2013, Permak Group acquired the property and announced a further renovation programme for the complex.

Reason: The proposed wording keeps the focus on verifiable facts: restoration, present use, location, connection to San Marco, ownership change and preservation of the historic complex. It avoids promotional language such as “private island”, “luxury retreat”, “hidden paradise” or broad size-based marketing claims, while still giving readers a clearer understanding of the site’s current role within Venice.

Suggested sources:

• Martina Carraro, L'isola di San Clemente a Venezia. Storia, restauro e nuove funzioni, Carsa, 2003.
• San Clemente Palace Venice, “Getting Here”: https://www.sanclementepalace.it/getting-here
• Hürriyet Daily News, “Turkish firm buys island, hotel in Venice”, 18 September 2013: https://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/turkish-firm-buys-island-hotel-in-venice-54687
• La Nuova Venezia, “È ufficiale: venduta ai turchi di Permak l’isola di San Clemente”, 19 September 2013: https://www.nuovavenezia.it/venezia/cronaca/2013/09/19/news/e-ufficiale-venduta-ai-turchi-di-permak-l-isola-di-san-clemente-1.7772276

Thank you for reviewing this request. ErdemGWiki (talk) 11:54, 20 May 2026 (UTC)

Rapid Electronics

Proposed updates to article (COI request)

Hello. I work for Rapid Electronics in a marketing capacity and have declared this conflict of interest on my user page. I am requesting the following updates to bring the article into line with the company's current product range, customer base and ownership structure. I have not made any of these changes directly to the article and will leave the decision on whether and how to implement them to an uninvolved editor. I have tried to keep all proposed wording neutral and to cite independent sources where possible.

1. Lead section

Current text describes the company as a "distributor of electronic components and educational products". The product range has expanded considerably since this page was last edited and now spans cable and wire, connectors, enclosures, electromechanical components, transformers, power supplies, automation and control, test and measurement equipment, soldering and consumables, alongside the long-established education range. Proposed replacement (full wikitext in collapsed section below): "Rapid Electronics Ltd is a British distributor of electronic components, electromechanical products, test and measurement equipment, tools and consumables, and educational supplies, based in Colchester, Essex. The company supplies industrial customers and the UK education sector."

2. History — Conrad Electronic Group relationship

The current article notes that Conrad Electronic acquired Rapid in 2012 but says nothing about how the relationship has developed. Conrad Electronic Group has, since 2012, expanded Rapid's access to its pan-European franchised distribution platform, which has substantially increased the product range available to UK customers. This is documented in the AllElectronicsIndustry.com feature on the Conrad Group offer being introduced into the UK, which describes the change as "tripling" the offering.

3. Products section

The current Products section is brief and doesn't reflect the current range. I'd propose replacing it with a structured description covering industrial product categories (cable and wire, connectors, enclosures, electromechanical, transformers, power supplies, automation and control, test and measurement, soldering and ESD, tools and consumables) and education product categories (single-board computers, robotics, electronic kits, test and measurement, science, design and technology, art and design, maths and literacy).

4. Customers section

The current Customers section understates the breadth of the customer base. I'd propose replacing it with text that reflects the industrial segments (original equipment manufacturers, contract electronic manufacturers, service providers, wholesalers, manufacturing engineers and procurement teams) and the education segments (primary and secondary schools, academy trusts, further education colleges, and universities, including framework-agreement provision for higher education).

Sources I am proposing to use

• AllElectronicsIndustry.com, "Rapid Electronics introduces Conrad Group's offer into the UK" (independent trade publication, supports the tripled-range claim and the developing Conrad relationship). • Conrad Electronic Group corporate website (for the group structure). • North Western Universities Purchasing Consortium framework listing for LAB3152NW (independent public-sector source for the education framework provision). • Rapid Electronics website (used only for uncontroversial descriptive detail). Happy to revise any of this in line with editor feedback. Thanks for taking the time to review. Adamwarrenward (talk) 08:29, 20 May 2026 (UTC)

Lead section

Rapid Electronics Ltd is a British distributor of electronic components, electromechanical products, test and measurement equipment, tools and consumables, and educational supplies, based in Colchester, Essex. The company supplies industrial customers across the United Kingdom and is a long-established supplier to the UK education sector. Since 2012 it has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Conrad Electronic Group.

History

Rapid Electronics was established by Mike Lee and Chris Stevenson in 1979. The company at this time was based in a converted barn above a garage at Aylesford, Kent and held stock of around 200 products. Rapid started by advertising in the retail electronics press to generate sales and a small single sheet catalogue was mailed to customers.

From 1981 the focus was developing sales into electronics departments at universities and colleges and this strategy was successful over the next 10 years. Due to expansion the company moved to Boxted in Essex in 1983 and continued to grow. Increasing sales led to a number of further moves to larger premises in the Colchester area, culminating in the building of the current 18,000sq.ft premises in Severalls Lane, Colchester.

In 2012, Rapid Electronics was acquired by Conrad Electronic Group, a German-headquartered electronics distribution group operating across Europe. Since the acquisition, Rapid has progressively integrated with the wider Conrad Electronic Group sourcing platform, which has substantially expanded the range of products available to UK customers. A 2025 trade-press feature described the integration as "tripling" the company's product offering through access to the Conrad Group's franchised distribution network.

Products

Rapid Electronics supplies products across two principal customer groups: industrial and education.

Its industrial range covers electronic components and off-board categories including cable and wire, connectors, enclosures, electromechanical components, transformers, power supplies, and automation and control products. The range also includes test and measurement equipment, soldering supplies, ESD protection, hand tools, and a wide selection of consumables used in electronics manufacturing, assembly and maintenance.

Its education range supports STEAM teaching across primary, secondary, further and higher education, and includes single-board computers, robotics, electronics teaching kits, test and measurement equipment, and materials for design and technology, science, art and design, and maths and literacy. The company also operates a custom kitting service for academic courses.

Customers

Rapid Electronics supplies two principal customer groups.

In the industrial sector, customers include original equipment manufacturers, contract electronic manufacturers, cable harness manufacturers, electronics design houses, service providers, and electrical wholesalers, alongside individual manufacturing engineers and procurement teams. Industrial customers use the company for board-level components, box-build assembly, bench tools and test equipment, and facilities maintenance supplies.

In the education sector, customers range from primary and secondary schools and academy trusts through to further education colleges and universities. Rapid is an approved supplier on the North Western Universities Purchasing Consortium LAB3152NW framework agreement for electronic components and associated products, which is used by UK higher and further education institutions to procure laboratory and teaching equipment.
