Printed by W&G Baird Friday 17th, November 2023 Intercontinental Hotel, Dublin It's July already, and we are delighted to release issue 70 of ELECTRIC.IE! As we enjoy the summer, we’re also roughly 13 weeks away from the eagerly anticipated 'Dash of the Derg' cycle event taking place on September 20th. For those who are new to cycling, we’ve included a suggested 10-week training schedule to help you prepare for this exciting event. In the meantime, it’s been a bustling few months in the industry with numerous trade shows, TechTalks, charity events, and award ceremonies taking place across the country. Electric.ie had the pleasure of attending many of these, and our magazine is brimming with detailed reports and highlights. One of the standout events was the AECI Trade Show, held once again at the Spa Hotel in Lucan. The seminars were well-attended, and exhibitors were pleased with the turnout. For more details on this event, see page 26. The CEF TechTalks format proved to be a success as well. The professional speakers kept attendees engaged with topics tailored to the Irish market, such as thermal imaging, working with DC, meter tail considerations, and key changes to EN10101. Thanks to the excellent turnout at all locations, the accompanying tradeshow was bustling with activity. Turn to page 23 for our full coverage. We were also thrilled to witness the success of the AEW awards for both training and WEEE recycling. Congratulations to Noel Simpson and Tony Cullen for their special recognition awards; both have been stalwarts of the AEW for many years. More on this can be found on page 13. In other exciting news, Schneider Electric has been named the world’s most sustainable company by Time magazine and Statista. This is a remarkable achievement, and you can read more about it on page 25. Lastly, we honour the memory of Gerard Malone as Precision Cables supports the Irish Wheelchair Association with their annual basketball event on page 34. Happy reading, and happy cycling preparation! Tony Cullen receives a 'Special Recognition' award.
