An Electrical Sales Agency Leader Since 1958

Lester Sales Company was founded in 1958 by Ernie Lester. His vision was to offer the premier level of representation for the top electrical manufacturers in the industry. Ernie’s success was due largely to his ability to locate, recruit and hire the best possible sales team who shared his vision of “being the best” and representing “only the best”. After Ernie’s passing, the agency was led by Arnie Haley from 1988 until 2012.

John Scott joined Lester Sales in 2009 and spent three years developing a deeper knowledge of the agency sales business. John purchased Lester Sales in 2012. John has over twenty years of experience in electrical distribution and holds a master degree in Industrial Distribution from Texas A&M University. Under his leadership, the company has continued Ernie’s legacy by building their future success on a foundation of strong relationships with employees, manufacturers and customers.
