Where can I get cable reels? (13)

Aug 15, 2013 11:35 AM CST Where can I get cable reels?
As the thread title - I am looking for some empty wooden cable reels - tried a few clearance places locally, adverts, done deal etc but no luck. Anyone suggest where to try - can travel Dublin, Midlands to collect.

Any Industrial building site would be delighted to get rid of them, or try mailing any Electrical Contractors like Mercury or O'Neills
