Click here to read the June issue of Electrical Wholesaler.
Mental Health Week, led by the Mental Health Foundation to highlight the importance of prioritising good mental health took place at the end of May.
For those working in the electrical sector and wider trades, the need for action is especially important. Research shows that 62% of tradespeople feel mental health isn’t discussed enough, highlighting a persistent stigma that prevents many from seeking help. Awareness and understanding of mental health has improved over the last 20 years, but real change comes from practical steps to support mental health in our workplaces, communities and daily lives – which is why this year’s Mental Health Awareness Week theme is ‘action’.
The Electrical Industries Charity has a number of resources to help those in the sector to prioritise mental wellbeing and take action to support colleagues in need of support. Visit https://electricalcharity.org to find out more.
Elsewhere in the issue, we’ve got a number of features from leading industry figures, including Shaun Scott, applications engineer at Advanced on fire safety systems (page 28) and Bharat Sharma of Apex B2B on e-commerce solutions for the electrical wholesale sector (page 30).
Our cover story this month, meanwhile, features Click Scolmore’s new Flow 6-Pole lighting connection system – an advanced addition to the company’s established Flow range (page 10).
Plus, as always, we share our usual news, views, products and installations from market-leading businesses across the sector.
Enjoy the issue!
