History.
Anglia was founded in 1972 by Bill Ingram, who started the business from home as a sole trader. The initial operation was established to provide spare parts to the Radio and TV repair trade. As Anglia developed it moved to premises in Burdett Road, Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, UK. By 1980 Anglia had grown significantly and directed its efforts towards the electronics manufacturing industry.
The signing of numerous distribution agreements and the launch of several direct product brands throughout the 1980s resulted in Anglia holding much more extensive inventory, they moved to a much larger distribution centre and offices in Sandall Road, Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, UK during 1992, where Anglia remains today. 
The late 1990s and early 2000s saw considerable expansion at Anglia, of its supplier line card and product portfolio. During this period, Anglia created specialist divisions dedicated to developing and emerging technologies and set up a logistics and distribution operation in Hong Kong.
In 2011 Steve Rawlins (CEO) reached agreement with the majority shareholder Bill Ingram to purchase the remainder of Anglia’s shares thereby securing Anglia’s position as the UK’s largest privately owned distributor. The transfer of ownership was completed in 2019 without the use of any external funding.
At the beginning of 2013 the company launched Anglia-Live, its e-commerce website, offering a comprehensive parametric search engine, live inventory, live pricing and online ordering. In more recent times, Anglia has signed numerous distribution agreements with major semiconductor suppliers significantly enhancing its product profile whilst continuing to receive multiple awards from its principle suppliers.
On Sunday 26th April 2020 Anglia ranked for the first time on the 21st annual Sunday Times Profit Track based on its financial performance over the last three years.
