Sponsor shout-out
We will be speaking to our event sponsors each month in the lead up to the EW Awards 2026, which are taking place at the Chelsea Harbour Hotel in London on 24 September 2026.
Q&A: Elliott Rothon, UK marketing manager, WISKA.
In your opinion, what does the EW Awards bring to the industry?
The EW Awards play an important role in recognising the people, projects and innovations that are driving the electrical industry forward. They shine a light on the high standards, technical expertise and dedication that often go unseen day-to-day. Beyond recognition, they also bring the industry together—creating a space to share ideas, celebrate progress and inspire the next generation of electricians and engineers.
Why did you decide to sponsor the awards? At WISKA UK, we see ourselves as more than just a manufacturer—we’re part of the wider electrical community. Sponsoring the EW Awards is a natural extension of that. It allows us to support the industry that supports us, while aligning with the values we care about: quality, innovation and professionalism. It’s also a great opportunity to connect with the people who are actually using our products on site every day.
What are you looking forward to on the day?
We’re really looking forward to celebrating the
achievements of the fi nalists and winners—it’s always inspiring to hear the stories behind the projects.
Q&A: Natasha Meadows, regional sales manager at Ansell Lighting. In your opinion, what does the EW Awards bring to the industry?
Wholesalers play such a vital role in the lighting and electrical industries - the essential link between brands and manufacturers and the end users and contractors – so the EW Awards are a great opportunity to bring all the parties together to recognise great customer service and excellence. The awards also play a part in helping to build relationships between manufacturers, wholesalers and installers.
Why did you decide to sponsor the awards? We love the EW Awards because they recognise achievements by wholesaler branches of all sizes, alongside individual talent and creativity, plus of course the brands and products that are central to the industry. Being involved with the awards is therefore a great opportunity for us to raise our profi le and give a little back to our customers and partners.
What are you looking forward to on the day?
There is always friendly rivalry and camaraderie at the awards and it gives us a chance to catch-up and celebrate with our customers, partners and colleagues from the lighting industry and beyond.
Q&A: Steve Kaye, sales and marketing manager, Forum Lighting Solutions. In your opinion, what does the EW Awards bring to the industry?
The EW awards are voted by our customers. It is the truest accolade if you win one of the categories. It lets you know if everything that you are doing, is working and is appreciated.
Why did you decide to sponsor the awards? It is a great way to support the industry.
What are you looking forward to on the day?
Meeting with customers and fellow manufacturers. It is always good to meet up and network and it would be great to come away with an award or two as well!
