We were honoured to sponsor the powerBall 2024, hosted by Electrical Industries Trading Company at the prestigious Grosvenor House Hotel in London this past Friday. The event was a spectacular production, featuring great food, show-stopping entertainment, and a breathtakingly dressed venue.

It was truly inspiring to see people from across the industry come together to celebrate and support our industry's dedicated charity. An incredible £370,000 was raised, a remarkable achievement that ensures the vital work and support provided by Electrical Industries Charity can continue.

We are so excited to announce our new Edmundson Locator App is now available to download!

Edmundson Electrical recently introduced a range of new apprenticeship standard qualifications, using its own apprenticeship levy fund, to provide further skills training and development opportunities for its people and the initiative has already delivered great results. The Company currently has over 150 employees enrolled on one of several apprenticeship courses covering a variety of job roles.

On average, an apprenticeship takes 18 months to complete and so far this year 22 Edmundson colleagues have successfully completed their studies to a very high standard and, in so doing, have not only gained a professionally recognised qualification they can be proud of, but also new skills and capabilities to enhance their future careers and help the Company go from strength to strength.

Congratulations and well done to you all!
