About Status
Status International is the UK's leading independent supplier of lighting, electrical accessories and small domestic appliances. Founded in 1991, this family-run business has grown to supply over 14,000 stores across the UK and Europe, earning its position through innovation, quality and competitive pricing. Run by father and son team Peter and Nicholas McVeigh—who together bring nearly 100 years of lighting industry experience—Status operates from its headquarters in Birkenshaw, West Yorkshire, with additional warehousing in nearby Cleckheaton. The facilities include an in-house design studio and laboratory, enabling the development of innovative products tailored to British consumers' needs. The product range spans small domestic appliances (kettles, toasters, irons, sandwich makers, hot plates), heating solutions (fan heaters, gas heaters, halogen heaters, quartz heaters, oil-filled radiators), cooling fans (handheld, USB, desk, tower and stand fans in various finishes), electrical accessories (plugs, adaptors, extension sockets, cable reels, wall switches) and comprehensive lighting including desk lamps compatible with halogen, low-energy and LED bulbs. In 2016, Status acquired the Maxim brand from JF Poynter Ltd—one of the oldest names in the UK lighting industry—further strengthening their market position. Today, Status products are stocked by major national retailers, wholesalers and independent electrical shops.
