A trading house built
across three generations.
From a single London office in 1946 to a diversified group spanning property, power, and chemicals.
Seventy-nine years of continuity
For over seven decades, Allied Commercial Exporters Limited has been a cornerstone of the UK commercial sector. Incorporated on 11 January 1946, we have proudly served businesses across real estate, electricals, and industrial chemicals for 79 years.
Our commitment to excellence, integrity, and innovation has made us a trusted partner worldwide. What began as a single trading office in London has grown into a multi-sector group, while keeping the same close, accountable relationships with clients that defined our earliest years.
Today, we operate as a parent real estate business with two further specialist trading divisions — Electricals and Industrial Chemicals — each run by people with deep sector expertise, reporting into a single corporate register based at 22 Chancery Lane, London.
