They were mainly a trade supplier and called round shops/workshops, much like Radiospares. I believe their original boss came from RS. Nedis is of Dutch origin I believe and merged with SEME.
I guess most people know about the name of SEME. The boss went to register the company name South East Midlands Electronics and it was turned down as being similar to another company so as he wanted to keep the SEME name he called the company Small Elephants Medium Elephants, hence their logo and being able to use SEME.
