Welcome to the February issue of EW! As the January issue goes to the printers before Christmas, this is, in effect, our first issue of the year.
After the holidays and a well-earned break, the new year is a period to reflect on both personal and professional achievements from the past year, and the challenges and opportunities that the next twelve months will bring. Which achievements were you most proud of in 2024? What products or technologies inspired you? What lessons and experiences will you bring to your work in the year to come?
And as you reflect on all that, EW is here, as always, to deliver news, views and product innovations from market leading businesses across the sector, directly to your desk (or screen, or phone).
On page 20, Ansell’s Chris Anderson, provides insight into microwave sensors, their use and key sales techniques. “Wholesalers should centre their messaging around the practical and financial advantages of these devices,” he recommends.
Meanwhile, Schneider’s David Rimmer, takes a deep dive into the growing potential of microgrids to help meet sustainability goals. Read more on page 22.
Elsewhere in the issue, you can read features on EV charging, cable management, wiring accessories and electric heating, plus a guide to navigating the Building Safety Act from Trimble Luckins. A jam-packed magazine for you this month!
Our cover story this month (page 10) showcases Scolmore’s Elucian by Click range of consumer units and circuit protection devices, and the key features that ensure these units stand out in the marketplace.
