Trends for 2024 O
nce again, we arrive at the fi nal issue of the year. This issue of Electrical Wholesaler features a varied range of topics to round off a year that has been dominated by discussion of sustainability, smart tech and safety.
On page 22, we highlight Recolight’s Reuse Hub and SATCol’s IT Reuse service, two initiatives that are working to help businesses improve their sustainability credentials by repurposing their old stock and electronic equipment, rather than sending it to landfi ll. We also spoke to Sam Collier, head of market intelligence at Aico|HomeLINK, about how smart tech can be used to improve air quality and combat damp and mould issues in UK homes. The full interview is on page 26.
Elsewhere in the issue, OGL Software’s Andrew Davies explains how sustainability in electrical wholesale could be simplifi ed using Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. Turn to page 20 to fi nd out more.
