In September of 2019 a group of eleven explorers, including the Electrical Industries Charity’s (EIC) CEO and MD Tessa Ogle, took to the Himalayas in a bid to reach Everest Base Camp and raise as much money as they could for our sector.

Despite some initial poor weather which meant the team didn’t set off for camp until two days after their expected departure, their journey was incredible. The group became close-knit and the sense of accomplishment every member felt was undeniable. Since returning home the group have began to recover and have started to feel more human again after a physically and mentally exhausting expedition. All the participants remarked on how much tougher the trip was then they anticipated, especially when you are carrying a 15kg kit bag up to Base Camp with you. Although the trip was tough the group remarked that their Everest trip had only wettened their appetite for a challenge and some of the participants have already signed up to their next challenge for a cause event.

Most importantly, for all their efforts, the group managed to raise an astonishing £50,000 for those in our sector who need assistance most. We’d like to say a massive thank you to the whole team for their fundraising efforts.

We'd like to say thank you to our flag sponsors: Keepmoat Homes, Rexel UK Ltd, Schneider Electric, Ansell Lighting, WMQ Building Services, Univolt UK, JR Pridham Services, EFT Consult, Metpro Ltd, Cogent, Glen Dimplex, Light Wave RF and Prysmian Group.

EIC would like to send our appreciation to everyone that attended the Western Golf Day 2018 at Pine Ridge Golf Club on Friday the 18^th of May who helped the Charity to raise over £2500!The weather was beautiful and spirits were high out on the course with some great scores achieved. We then topped off the day with a refreshing drink and delicious BBQ followed by prizegiving.Congrats to our winning team, Rexel Bracknell, and to all of the runners up! Thanks again to the event’s headline sponsor, Rexel London, and to everyone that took a team.

We look forward to hopefully seeing you all at the Equinox Ball and for an even better Western Golf Day 2019!

On 8^th-12^th March 2018, a team of 18 industry individuals embarked on an adventure fundraising challenge – aptly named Arctic Adventure, situated in the arctic circle of Kuusamo, Finland. Throughout the three days the team endured various challenges as seen in the photos below. Thank you to all donors and supporters who contributed to the cause in making a real difference to help rebuild the future for the Dickinson family.

A very special thank you to the flag sponsors, CEF, Dimplex, Schneider Electric, Edmundson Electrical, Daewoo, Gewiss, Heatrae Sadia and V-TAC.

Love was definitely in the air at this year’s London Valentine’s Ball...

Returning to the impeccable InterContinental Park Lane, the evening featured stunning suits and gowns, cuisine and cocktails, with some stellar entertainment from soulful Irie J and spunky Creation DJ-Live.

2018 won’t just go down as the new year of the woman in society, but also at the Ball, with our female attendees taking the cake thanks to their spectacular dresses and star prize winning on the night!

Thank you so much to all of our attendees and to our sponsors Greenbrook Electrical and Bells Power, we couldn’t create this without you.

Can’t wait to see you all in 2019 x
