Digitising Data W
elcome to the October issue of Electrical Wholesaler!
The concept of digitising product data has been
cropping up frequently in recent months – I suppose it’s natural to take a closer look at your database and management system when on enforced lockdown. On an industry-wide level, digitisation has the potential to help mitigate risk and improve efficiency by centralising information and product data – read more on page 36. Our October cover story comes from
Timeguard’s Andy Douglas, who discusses meeting pent-up demand following the months of COVID-19 lockdown and restrictions, and takes our readers on a closer look at the brand’s outdoor LED lighting ranges. Security also plays a key part in this month’s
issue, with ESP exploring how outdoor lighting can promote home security without the need for alarms. On page 18, meanwhile, Metal and Modular’s Michael Brown discusses the issue of tool theft and the products available to help contractors prevent it.

34 21 12 We are also delighted to be relaunching the
EW Awards for 2021, after a somewhat disrupted 2020 edition thanks to COVID-19 restrictions. Although the trophies still reached the winners, the industry did miss out on its annual live ceremony and awards celebration – something we’re keen to make up for in 2021. Find out more on page 30. This issue also includes features on Cable
Management and Ventilation from leading industry experts, as well as a preview of Electrical Safety First’s annual safety conference – this year a virtual event. Plus, of course, our usual news, views, product innovations and installations from market-leading businesses.
Happy reading!
