Printed by W&G Baird Friday 17th, November 2023 Intercontinental Hotel, Dublin As we step into September, many of you might be easing back into work after a well-deserved holiday. Perhaps, like many, you’re carrying a bit of extra holiday indulgence with you. But worry not—there’s still time to get back in shape, especially with the upcoming 'Dash of the Derg' just a few weeks away. This event promises not only a fun-filled experience but also supports a great cause, offering you the perfect opportunity to shed those extra pounds. Don’t miss out—sign up today on the IEBA website. https://irisheba.ie/dash-of-the-derg/. We extend our hearty congratulations to Wood Communications, who recently marked an impressive 100 years in business. Their centennial celebration was a success, bringing together customers and friends for a memorable open day. We’ve featured an in-depth look at the company’s journey over the past century on page 22. Another notable milestone is PEMCO's 50th anniversary. We visited their Bray premises to learn more about their rich history and continued innovation, which you can read about on page 26. In addition to these milestones, Legrand has unveiled a new showroom in Dublin, complete with a comprehensive training room and hot desks, alongside a significant expansion of their salesforce in Ireland. For more details on this exciting development, turn to page 9. CEF has also made headlines with the opening of a new branch in Tallaght. This 10,000 sq ft facility boasts ample stock capacity, a cable cutting area, and will serve as a hub for solar equipment, in addition to their standard product range. You can find more about this new branch on page 31. Edmundson Electrical hosted their annual golf outing at St Margaret's Golf Club on August 16th (page 49), and Schneider Electric held theirs at the prestigious K Club on August 15th, raising over €2,000 for the IEBA (page 11). Finally, this issue is packed with the latest in new products from industry leaders like Dimplex, Ledvance, Glamox, South Coast Sales, and Demesne Electrical and more.
