H


ello and welcome to the October issue of Electrical Engineering magazine, which this month features specialist content and commentary from a wide range of sectors of the industry including the latest in Enclosures, Safety in Engineering and Electrical Equipment. We have in-


depth articles on Lighting & Lighting Controls, see what’s happening in the Test & Measurement sphere, and identify new technologies in Batteries & Chargers. As the days get shorter and the nights get longer, and Autumn is well and truly here, it’s important to


look at the bright side of things. Especially with all the turmoil to our industry, and indeed the entire world, that continues to persevere throughout this year, we must look at the successes and collaborations that have served and benefitted people and businesses. It’s been very difficult, if not totally impossible, to keep calm and carry on, and daily life has been forever changed. But the industry has adapted, and working together has become the norm, with new partnerships, advice sharing and design collaborations being constantly announced. There’s been a big push already over the last few years to fill the skills gap, and since the pandemic, companies have been looking at new ways of training the next generation of engineers. We will get through this, and we will continue to have a thriving industry that innovates, and with sustainability at the forefront of people’s mind, we will create a green future for all. This is my hope, and with the evidence coming from the industry over the last few months, I feel sure that we will succeed. If you would like to write for the magazine on any given topic within the industry then please don't


hesitate to get in touch. This is your industry and I want to offer you a platform to speak and engage with opinions from the marketplace. Please email nmarriott@datateam.co.uk or call 01622 699 194 to discuss editorial opportunities. In the meantime, please enjoy reading this issue of Electrical Engineering. I hope you find it
