The Electrical Distributors\u2019 Association (EDA) has published the results of its inaugural survey into the issues and opportunities facing its electrical wholesaler and manufacturer members.<\/p>\n

The survey – \u201cWhat keeps you awake at night?\u201d – explores broad themes including technology and online sales, supply-side and sales-side issues, employee training and how to attract a pipeline of new talent to the sector, and the key features of supply-chain relationships.<\/p>\n

Margaret Fitzsimons, the EDA\u2019s Director, said: \u201cThe EDA\u2019s strategy must align with the needs of our members \u2013 both wholesalers and manufacturers \u2013 and our survey takes the temperature of the sector, giving us a solid launch-pad for further discussions and, most importantly, for action.\u201d<\/p>\n

The survey findings represent the views of managers, including senior managers, from over 250 wholesaler and manufacturer organisations.<\/p>\n

An easy-to-digest summary of the survey is available as a pull-out in the October 2016 issue of Taking Stock, the quarterly newsletter of the EDA distributed within Electrical Wholesaler magazine, and available online via the EDA\u2019s website www.eda.org.uk<\/a>.<\/p>\n
