ECA (Electrical Contractors’ Association) has unveiled a stream of activities to celebrate its 125th anniversary this year.

In collaboration with its Members, the UK’s largest electrical trade association will showcase 125 years of progress and a future full of opportunities through a range of activities at national and regional levels.

Four themes will be covered during the course of the anniversary year:

* Legacy and Leadership
* Skills and Apprenticeships
* Technology and Transformation
* Trust, Integrity and Value

The anniversary year will be launched with a film highlighting the journey that the trade association and its Members have taken together. The electrical industry has experienced transformative change both through technological advances and world-shaking events and crises. Today, as the UK heads towards its goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050, ECA and its Members are again at the forefront of transformational change.

Alongside this, a series of videos featuring ECA Members will showcase the work they do to benefit us all.

Steve Bratt, Group CEO of ECA, said:

“For this milestone year we want to show the ways in which previous action by ECA and our Members has had a real impact on how the industry and our country have evolved. Today, the outside world is rediscovering at last just how vital electrification of the UK is, and the essential role that electrotechnical skills and capabilities have to play now, and even more so in the future.

“More needs to be done at a policy level to support the electrical industry in delivering what our country needs. Fairer contracts and payment practices, stronger technical standards and assurance, and more and better skilled people are all necessary if the UK electrical industry and the nations and regions we help to power are to fulfil their true potential.”

ECA’s 125th anniversary year is being sponsored by Aico, Edmundson Electrical and Schneider Electric.
