Wholesaler! As I write this, the UK is in the middle of its first mini heatwave of the year, and it feels like we are all seeking ways to make life easier in the day-to-day. It seems fitting therefore that one of the themes of this issue is adopting new technology to improve efficiency, in terms of time, energy and money. In our cover story for this month, Schneider
Welcome to the August issue of Electrical
shares details of its complete new trunking range, among other new products, and explains why product innovation and continuous development sit at the heart of the business’ ethos. Plus, as always, the usual news, views,
Electric discusses the importance of adapting to new technology in a constantly evolving electrical landscape. Those electricians that are able to understand and successfully implement new products and technology will reap the benefits - and the wholesalers who are able to supply and advise them play a vital role (page 10). Elsewhere in the issue, Ansell Lighting’s
products and installations from market- leading businesses across the sector - including a piece from Schneider on how to embrace expertise, digital culture, and leadership for the successful adoption of e-commerce.
Happy reading.
Anthony Parkinson takes a look at the types of emergency lighting products available and explains how they can help wholesalers generate continual sales and revenue throughout the year.
