In April 2024, News in the Channel reported that Westcoast had successfully aquired Spire Technology.
As of January 2026, a full merger of Spire Technology and Westcoast has occurred. Spire customers, who have not transitioned to a Westcoast account can now start using their Westcoast online account by
- Visiting westcoast.co.uk/login
- Selecting ‘Reset Password’, and
- Setting up a new password and logging in to their Westcoast account
Westcoast Rewards is a benefit to opening the account. Customers earn points for qualifying purchases to redeem against prizes of their choice. Customers who are unable to open an account or need support can give the team a call on 01202 828444. The team may have additional stock that is not yet on the website – so do get in contact with the components team at Westcoast.
Commenting on the final changes to the merger Phil Bell, Chief Revenue Officer at Westcoast has stated:
“This merger is about synergy. Spire’s specialist expertise and customer-first approach align perfectly with Westcoast’s scale and infrastructure. Together, we’re creating a stronger offering for our partners.”
Mike Botto, Managing Director at Spire, now components at Westcost, comments:
“Spire has always focused on proactive, specialist service. By joining Westcoast, we’re amplifying that, giving our customers access to a broader portfolio, enhanced logistics, and more support, while keeping the same trusted team. We’re expanding from 40,000 to 750,000 square feet of warehousing -that’s nearly 19 times more space – unlocking faster fulfilment, greater stock availability, and enhanced logistics for our customers. But the core relationships remain unchanged.Our partners will still work with the same account managers and support team. It’s the same great service, just with much more behind it. We’re genuinely excited about what this means for our customers. Joining forces with Westcoast is about creating more value, more choice, and more opportunities for our partners.”
