t was wonderful to talk to a number of EW Awards winners this month for Part 2 of our EW Awards Supplement 2020. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 we had to make the difficult decision to cancel the live event in order to ensure the health and safety of our guests – however it did not stop us from announcing the winners and highly commended companies across a wide range of categories. It was so uplifting to find out how winning an award in the middle of a pandemic has made a difference to morale and given hardworking companies in our industry a lift, at such a difficult time for businesses all over the country. Take a look at page 14 for comments from the winners and photos of them with their trophies. Our cover story for the month is from market- leading electrical manufacturer WISKA, with an update on its newest and best-selling product ranges, including an IP68 conduit fitting and conduit range, two new sizes of the iconic COMBI junction box and the award winning TKS 32... not to mention the COMBI 304, Wiska’s first circular junction box. Head to page 10 to find out more. On page 16, the EDA’s John Henry shares his
