While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

Easy to order. Quick to arrive. Postage very expensive via FedEx is the reason for 4 stars. I was happy to wait a few days but there was no cheaper option.

About Charter Controls

Written by the company

Charter Controls is family owned and run with a clear vision for the future.

Charter Controls is NOT a distributor in the traditional sense. We are a Manufacturers Agent.

This means that we are the exclusive importer of the product ranges that we sell, most of which are featured on our online store.

Our philosophy is simple; we work for you, our customers, not our suppliers.

Why? because our customers pay our wages not our suppliers. Therefore we are here for you. We want you to enjoy your customer experience with us so you will return to us with confidence.

The best of both worlds We strive continuously to simplify your purchasing experience as you will see from our new web site.

Low price and high quality.

We pride ourselves on our customers feedback and would love to hear what you think. Please click here to see what other people have to say about us.

Our routes to market

We employ various routes to market including RS Components, Farnell Element 14, CPC and Rapid Electronics in addition to strategically located specialist Control Gear distributors and wholesalers.

We also sell directly to you.

We do not employ an expensive sales force. This cost saving enables us and our distributors to sell directly to you at very competitive prices. However we do employ a National Sales Manager who, together with office based product specialists will provide you with full on-site and telephone support.

High standards of service and support, backed by 40 years of relevant experience.

Charter Controls is a trading division of Unipower (UK) Ltd.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad you appreciated our technical support, prompt responses, and reliable delivery. That said, we’re sorry to hear we didn’t quite meet your expectations overall. As your review has not come through from one of our automated requests we are unable to identify your order to look into this. If there's anything specific we could do to improve your experience in future, we’d really appreciate the opportunity to learn more.
