[edit] Electrical contractors scoop top prizes at 2024 ECA Industry Awards
An array of electrotechnical and engineering services contractors and individuals were recognised at the 2024 ECA Industry Awards, held on Friday 11 October at the London Hilton Bankside Hotel.
The event, supported by headline sponsors AICO and Electrium, highlighted key achievements by leading talent in the sector.
This annual event provides a fantastic opportunity for contractors and other supply chain organisations to network and celebrate excellence.
BBC Sports Presenter, Mike Bushell, and voice of the National Lottery and Strictly Come Dancing, Alan Dedicoat, hosted the proceedings where guests also raised a total of £5,205 for the Electrical Industries Charity.
An independent panel of judges including Luke Osborne, Deputy Technical Director of Electrical Safety First, Paul Collins, Technical Director of Certsure, and Clair Bradley, Deputy Delivery Director at JTL, determined the winners from a pool of impressive entries.
