More than 500 electrical contractors descended on Epsom Downs for the annual Live South event from NICEIC and ELECSA. This year’s star attraction was former England footballer Stuart Pearce. 

Almost half of buyer documents (48%) seen by electrotechnical businesses with turnover above £1m now ask about engagement with corporate social responsibility (CSR), according to new survey findings from the ECA and the Considerate Constructors Scheme.

The Building Controls Industry Association (BCIA) is inviting electrical contractors to expand on their building controls knowledge with the second in a suite of six courses to be offered as part of the BCIA training programme. 

The electrical contracting industry has continued its excellent safety record with a further improvement in the reportable accident rate, contributing to a remarkable trend of continual improvement over the last 15 years.
