LEADING THE WAY
When times are tough, only those prepared to innovate, diversify and raise standards of excellence in what they do will prosper. ROB SHEPHERD fi nds out how three long- standing members of the ECA are demonstrating the type of leadership and entrepreneurial spark capable of growing their businesses and treading a path for others to follow
I
t’s tempting to think, in these troubled economic times, that companies operating in the electrical contracting and related industries have no opportunity to prosper. While there have certainly been many
victims of the recession, others have adapted by diversifying their businesses to meet changing customer demands.
ECA members are spearheading this approach – and seeing positive business benefi ts as a result. Their experiences prove that a fl exible and forward- thinking attitude, backed up with the support of the industry’s leading trade body, can pay dividends. Across a broad range of disciplines, covering
many areas of interest, ECA members are demonstrating their capabilities and excellence. As one of the ECA’s oldest members, Sudlows is now one of the leading data centre design and installation companies. Meanwhile, Vision Accendo is helping clients from a wide range of industries save money and reduce energy through light- emitting diode (LED) lighting, while ILEC and IMEC have built on their activities as building services contractors by manufacturing a range of products that reduce the danger of electrical fi re. Over the next few pages, we profi le these
three ECA member companies and discover what drives their appetite for success and how they are continuing to grow their operations by leading the way.
