Ellis unveils Centaur+ high-voltage cable cleating
Ellis Patents, a UK designer and manufacturer of safety-critical cable cleats and cable management solutions, is launching its new Centaur+ Saddle at the CIGRE Paris Session this month. Developed specifically for demanding high-voltage transmission applications, Centaur+ combines a curved 316L stainless steel saddle, designed for cable support and an over-strap offering short-circuit restraint. The saddle sits on a base which allows for movement in the vertical plane.  The result is a cable support solution designed to accommodate the practical requirements of sagged cable installations while providing the robust construction required for critical transmission infrastructure. Centaur+ represents the next development of Ellis' experience in high-voltage cable support, building on the established Centaur range and its use on major transmission infrastructure projects. One of the most significant examples is National Grid's London Power Tunnels project, where Ellis Centaur Cable Cleats and Centaur Intermediate Straps have been used to secure and protect high-voltage cables against short circuits. During Phase 1 of the project, 192 kilometres of 400kV cable and 30 kilometres of 132kV cable were installed within 32 kilometres of tunnels, using Ellis Centaur products to secure the cables. The relationship has continued into London Power Tunnels Phase 2 (LPT2). Taihan Cable & Solution Co., Ltd is responsible for the design, delivery, connection, construction and testing of a 400kV cable system for the project, again using Ellis Centaur Cable Cleats and Centaur Intermediate Straps. The continued use of Centaur on both phases demonstrates the trusted role of Ellis cable cleat technology in major, safety-critical transmission infrastructure. “Our involvement in London Power Tunnels demonstrated the performance and reliability that can be achieved with the Centaur system in a major 400kV transmission environment,” says Danny Macfarlane, Managing Director at Ellis Patents. “The continuation of Centaur into LPT2 is particularly significant because it reflects the confidence placed in the technology by the project team. Centaur+ takes that experience into a new design. We have focused on the practical challenges faced by engineers and installers working with large high-voltage cables, particularly where cable geometry and installation conditions require additional flexibility.” Centaur+ features a curved saddle designed specifically for sagged cable installations. The saddle and over-strap are manufactured from 316L stainless steel, with a galvanised steel pivot base and base fixings. Stainless steel options for the base and fixings are also available. Centaur+ has been short-circuit tested to IEC 61914, reflecting Ellis' focus on the mechanical and safety requirements associated with cable support systems in high-voltage applications. The system is available with saddle lengths of 600mm, with the current configurations covering cable diameters from 85mm to 152mm. Importantly, Centaur+ can also be adapted for specific project requirements, allowing Ellis to alter the design to meet particular load or functionality requirements. As electricity networks expand to accommodate increasing demand, renewable generation and new transmission infrastructure, the engineering requirements placed on high-voltage cable systems continue to evolve. For transmission system operators, system designers and installation contractors, the cable cleating system is an integral part of the overall installation design. Centaur+ has been developed to provide a solution for applications where cable geometry, installation conditions and project-specific requirements demand a robust yet adaptable cable support system. “CIGRE is the ideal environment in which to launch Centaur+,” adds Danny. “It brings together the transmission and power-system community from around the world and gives us the opportunity to demonstrate the product directly to the engineers, designers, cable manufacturers and transmission specialists who understand the challenges these projects present.” Ellis will showcase Centaur+ at CIGRE Paris from 23–28 August 2026, where visitors can meet the team and discuss the product's potential application on high-voltage transmission projects.

IONITY opens ultra-rapid charging EV site at London’s Greenwich Shopping Park
 IONITY has officially opened a new charging site at Greenwich Shopping Park, the first in a pipeline of ultra-rapid charging hubs the company is bringing to London. This marks the next phase of the company’s commitment to expanding high-power charging capacity across the capital and the UK beyond its established motorway network. To celebrate the launch, EV drivers can charge for free at the site on Friday 21 August 2026 using the IONITY App. Open to all electric vehicles, the new Greenwich site features 12 charging bays delivering up to 400 kW, providing convenient, high-power EV charging in minutes. Located on Bugsby’s Way, Greenwich Shopping Park sits at the heart of a busy retail destination, surrounded by supermarkets, high-street stores, cafés and restaurants.  Just minutes from The O2 and Greenwich Peninsula and close to the A206, the site is ideally positioned to serve local residents, visitors and high-mileage commercial drivers travelling across southeast London.   Jeroen van Tilburg, CEO at IONITY, says, "Our expansion goes beyond long-distance travel to enable reliable charging where demand is growing fastest: in urban areas. We must meet drivers where they need us, and in cities like London the next stage of electrification is now taking place. Growing numbers of drivers are choosing to make the switch to electric and it is vital that the supply of ultra-fast chargers is rapidly scaled up. We're bringing up to 400 kW into urban areas, giving drivers the speed and reliability they expect from IONITY, closer to where they live and work." The new hub also supports IONITY's partnership with Uber, combining reliable ultra-rapid charging with data-driven infrastructure planning to help accelerate urban electrification.  Ride-hailing drivers are among the earliest and most active adopters of electric vehicles in cities and typically drive significantly more miles per day and operate on tightly scheduled routines, making reliable, ultra-fast charging essential.  Through its partnership with Uber, IONITY offers attractive charging prices to Uber drivers and uses real-world utilisation data to help identify where future charging locations can have the most impact. In return, Uber's utilisation commitments provide the confidence needed to invest in new charging infrastructure where it will deliver the greatest benefit.  Together, these sites will help support Uber’s ambition to become a zero-emission platform by 2040, and London’s commitment to be net zero carbon by 2030.  To celebrate the launch, IONITY is inviting drivers to enjoy free charging for 24 hours at its new Greenwich site on Friday, 21 August 2026. The 'Free Friday' promotion can be accessed on the IONITY App.   The opening follows the launch of IONITY’s urban sites in Birmingham Aston in February 2026, with many more urban sites under development across London, Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow and Edinburgh. By 2030, around 30% of IONITY’s network is planned to be located in dense urban environments.

Toolstation trials 17 collection eLockers at Battersea store
Toolstation has partnered with eLocker to install 17 collection lockers outside its Toolstation GO store in Battersea, offering customers a faster, more convenient way to shop, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Once the order is made at any time during business hours through www.Toolstation.com or through the Toolstation app, the customer is notified. They can then collect it with a code on their phone, whenever suits them.   The eLocker format turns the click and collect option into a self-service option format that customers can run from the convenience of their mobile. The new option builds upon Toolstation GO’s ambition of delivering the ultimate in customer convenience since opening in Battersea earlier this year.  Toolstation GO Battersea also features digital kiosks that mean customers can skip the queues and browse the Toolstation range and place orders to be collected at the counter. The GO store format also includes Toolstation’s Fast Track service, which means thousands of products can be delivered to site or home in as little as 30 minutes, while products are localised to the store and they are updated and maintained based on customer and store insight.   The trial of collection lockers demonstrates Toolstation’s commitment to providing tradespeople with an efficient and dependable service that helps them stay productive, on schedule and in control from their first stop of the day to their final job.  Chris Other, Customer Director at Toolstation, comments, “The installation of eLocker will deliver a quick and convenient shopping experience without compromising on the high level of service that customers know and trust Toolstation for. We know how busy and time-poor tradespeople can be and our around-the-clock service aims to streamline work schedules and provide customers with the flexibility they need to oversee their next project or job.”  If the trial proves successful, Toolstation will potentially roll this feature out further in the future. The Toolstation GO store and new eLockers are based at Unit 1, 481 Battersea Park Road, SW11 4LW. Store opening hours for the Toolstation GO store is from 7am-8pm from Monday to Saturday and from 9am to 4pm on Sunday, while the order cut-off for same day collection from eLocker is by 7.30pm during Monday to Saturday, and at 3.30pm on Sunday. If products are ordered after this time, they can be collected on the next day.

Interface Simplifies Management of Matter Smart Homes
TR-517 enables service providers and application developers to scale new services designed to improve smart home experiences for customers. New services designed to enhance smart home experiences can now be developed and deployed faster following the launch of a new interface from the Broadband Forum. The ‘Matter Service API’ is described as the first standardised solution to give service providers a complete view of all Matter-powered devices on a smart home network, regardless of manufacturer. Instead of developing separate services to manage individual Matter ecosystems, broadband service providers and application developers can develop and launch a service once across compatible devices. "Industry efforts around Matter have successfully made smart home devices work together, but access to those devices is still frequently controlled through proprietary ecosystems," says Jason Walls, Connected User Work Area Co-Director at the Broadband Forum and Director of Technical Marketing at QA Cafe. "This means that customer experience services, such as diagnostics, automation services, energy management solutions and customer support tools can be deployed at scale to fix Matter-related smart home issues before customers even notice them," Walls continues. Matter is a universal connectivity standard designed to allow devices from different manufacturers, including Apple, Google, Amazon and Samsung, to communicate with each other across a smart home network. As the number and variety of devices using Matter increases, the need for a common service layer is also growing. Recent Matter releases have expanded support to include cameras, energy management devices, appliances, sensors, shading systems and other categories that increasingly form part of connected home environments. This broader reach also increases the potential relevance of Matter to electrical contractors working across smart home, energy management and building technology projects. "Many Matter-enabled smart home deployments remain tied to proprietary cloud platforms, mobile applications and vendor-specific integrations. As a result, service providers and third-party developers often face a fragmented landscape when attempting to build services that work across devices from different manufacturers," says Xavier Roubaud, Connected Home Product Line Director at Orange Innovation. "Thanks to the Matter Service API, gateways and smart home hubs can now become stable platforms for innovation, making it easier for service providers to launch new monetisable services." The MatterService Data Model for USP Enabled Devices (TR-517) combines the Broadband Forum’s User Services Platform (USP/TR-369) with the Matter protocol, establishing a consistent API and unified platform for managing the customer experience through broadband gateways, routers and smart home hubs. Because the model is automatically aligned with Matter’s evolving device definitions, the Broadband Forum says service providers gain a framework capable of adapting as new device types enter the ecosystem. For electrical contractors increasingly involved in connected homes, energy management and smart building infrastructure, developments such as TR-517 underline how Matter is moving beyond straightforward device interoperability. Creating a more consistent management layer could make larger and more sophisticated multi-manufacturer smart home deployments easier to support, potentially opening the door to more scalable services around energy, diagnostics and ongoing system management.

Fergus Data Reveals UK Trade Employment Splits Sharply By Region
New research from Fergus has revealed significant regional differences in employment, earnings and working conditions across the UK’s skilled trades, with electricians among the professions experiencing particularly sharp variations. The job management platform’s UK Tradespeople Hotspots Index compares 11 regions across seven trades: electricians, plumbers, carpenters, bricklayers, roofers, painters and decorators and construction and building trades supervisors. Using eight measures including pay, employment growth, working hours, housing affordability, living costs, self-employment and insurance costs, the research suggests that higher headline wages do not necessarily translate into better prospects for tradespeople. The North East emerges as the most consistently strong region across the seven trades, helped by comparatively affordable housing and good local earning power. At the other end of the table, London finishes last overall despite offering the highest wages for five of the seven trades studied. East Midlands Leads For Electricians For electricians, the East Midlands achieves the highest overall score of any trade-region combination in the research. Weekly pay stands at £836.20, while electrician employment has increased by 34.8% over three years. The North West follows closely, while Yorkshire and the Humber and London present a very different picture. Despite offering above-average pay, electrician employment has fallen by 31.4% in Yorkshire and the Humber and 49% in London. The figures underline the extent to which employment prospects for electrical professionals can vary depending on location, even where headline earnings remain attractive. Plumbing Opportunities Strong In Yorkshire Yorkshire and the Humber tops the rankings for plumbers, heating and ventilating installers, supported by 42% employment growth and relatively strong housing affordability. Scotland and the North West follow. London offers the highest weekly wage for the trade at £857.90 but drops to seventh place overall once housing and other living costs are considered. Construction supervisors experience an even more dramatic divide. The West Midlands leads the rankings, while London records the highest weekly wage at £975.30 but finishes last overall. Employment among construction and building trades supervisors in the capital has fallen 64.5% in three years – the steepest decline recorded for any trade-region combination in the study. Elsewhere, Yorkshire and the Humber leads for roofers, with employment increasing 68.8%, while Wales ranks first for painters and decorators. The North East tops the rankings for carpenters and joiners and the South East leads for bricklayers. The research also highlights considerable differences in working patterns. Self-employment ranges from 32.7% among carpenters in the East Midlands to 95.7% for painters and decorators in the East of England. Mark Bartels, CEO at Fergus, says: "There's a common assumption that the best opportunities for tradespeople are wherever the wages are highest, but our research shows that's not always the case. In many parts of the UK, tradespeople can earn slightly less on paper but end up with a better quality of life and stronger long-term prospects because housing is more affordable, costs are lower and demand remains strong. "For trade business owners, that's an important lesson. Success isn't just about chasing the biggest contracts or the largest cities – it's about understanding where demand is growing, where skilled workers can afford to live and where businesses can operate sustainably. "As the construction sector continues to evolve, we expect regional differences to play an even bigger role in shaping opportunities. The businesses that pay attention to those shifts will be best placed to attract talent, win work and grow in the years ahead." The UK Tradespeople Hotspots Index uses data from sources including ONS ASHE, the Annual Population Survey, UK House Price Index and Registers of Scotland and ONS Family Spending, alongside insurance quote data. Northern Ireland was excluded due to insufficient data coverage.

Selco launches competitive price matching and new loyalty programme
Selco Builders Warehouse has launched two major new initiatives: Sharp Prices and tradeREWARDS, following its largest-ever customer listening programme.  Over the past 12 months, Selco has worked closely with customers to better understand the challenges they face every day, trialling a series of solutions across the country to identify those that would deliver the greatest benefit to the tradespeople it serves.  The result is two initiatives developed in partnership with Selco’s customers and designed to make life simpler for the Trade by reducing complexity, increasing trust and delivering greater value, allowing them more time to focus on running and growing their businesses. Built on genuine customer insight, Sharp Prices and tradeREWARDS form part of Selco's new Sorted campaign, reinforcing the business's commitment to listening to the Trade and responding with tangible solutions that make a real difference. The research found that today's tradespeople are under increasing pressure, with limited time, rising costs and complicated buying journeys making it harder to stay focused on the job. Through Sorted, Selco aims to remove as many of these challenges as possible, giving customers confidence that Selco is with them for every job. Sharp Prices is a pricing strategy designed to reduce wasted time in the customer journey by monitoring prices daily across a range of Selco’s core products and best-selling lines. By providing transparent, competitive pricing that customers can trust across every channel, Sharp Prices removes the need to spend valuable time shopping around, comparing prices or negotiating. With prices reviewed and adjusted daily to ensure they stay sharp, and backed up by Selco’s nationwide store network, strong product availability and knowledgeable colleagues. The initiative gives customers confidence they're getting the right products at the right prices, so they can get in, get what they need, and get back to the job.  Complementing Sharp Prices is a brand-new loyalty programme designed to reward tradespeople and their businesses. Created to give more back to customers every time they shop, tradeREWARDS is built around a straightforward premise: the more you shop, the more you save.  With three tiers – Bronze, Silver and Gold  – customers earn discounts on their purchases when they maintain a minimum monthly spend. The Bronze tier gives customers access to the special offers available with a Selco Trade Card, including Real Deals and Mega Deals.  Customers who spend an average of £300 inc VAT in a calendar month will move up to the Silver tier and unlock 6% off all purchases, while those who spend an average of £1,500 inc VAT per month will enter the Gold tier and unlock 10% off all purchases. This system ensures that the business’ most loyal customers receive even greater value for choosing Selco. "Listening and responding to our customers has been at the centre of these two initiatives,” says David Lennon, Commercial Director at Selco Builders Warehouse. “We’ve undertaken the biggest customer listening programme in Selco’s history to better understand the frustrations tradespeople face every day and the role we can play in helping them overcome them.  “What we heard was clear: consumer confidence remains low, inflationary pressures continue to affect businesses, and every minute spent away from the tools matters. Tradespeople told us that they want greater consistency, more transparency and less complexity when buying the products they need.  We’ve worked alongside our customers to test and refine solutions that genuinely make a difference, supporting a key part of our economy in the local communities we serve. Sharp Prices removes the guesswork from pricing by checking our prices every day against the best visible prices in the market, while tradeREWARDS recognises customers for their loyalty and gives them a simple, accessible way to create more value for their businesses every time they shop. “Together, these two initiatives form part of our new Sorted proposition, which is all about making life easier for the Trade. Whether customers are visiting a store, ordering online or using the app, it’s all about keeping things simple: great value, what they need, when they need it and less time hanging around so they can get on with the job.”

With 28 new bays, the site gives drivers convenient access to reliable charging while supporting the continued shift towards lower-emission transport.” The Charlton Riverside opening follows RAW Charging’s recent launch of a 32-bay EV charging hub at Xscape Milton Keynes, highlighting the continued growth of large-scale destination charging infrastructure across the UK.

Aubrey Allen expands to third phase of rooftop solar investment
Premium food supplier Aubrey Allen has expanded its on-site solar for a third time after the success of its existing rooftop solar installations, reinforcing its long-term commitment to sustainability, reducing energy costs and improving operational resilience. Aubrey Allen first partnered with Ineco Energy to reduce the significant energy demands of its factory, where refrigeration systems operate around the clock, while supporting the company's wider sustainability ambitions.  The initial phases of the rooftop solar project have delivered significant financial and environmental benefits, generating a projected lifetime solar value of more than £166,700 to date while reducing reliance on grid electricity and lowering carbon emissions. Having seen the proven performance of the existing system, Aubrey Allen has continued to invest in expanding its rooftop solar capacity, with phase three representing the latest step in its long-term energy strategy. Following completion of Phase Three, the site will have a combined installed capacity of 431.1 kWp, comprising 944 solar panels and generating an estimated 377,236 kWh of renewable electricity annually. The expanded system will continue to support the company's long-term energy strategy, reducing operating costs, strengthening energy resilience and helping to lower carbon emissions for years to come. Russell Allen, Managing Director at Aubrey Allen, says, “Our commitment to sustainability is about more than reducing our own environmental impact. We believe it is our responsibility, as a business and as part of the wider food industry, to lead by example and continually raise the standard.  “By investing in meaningful, long-term improvements, we aim not only to reduce our carbon footprint but to inspire positive change across our sector. Sustainability is embedded in the way we think, operate and plan for the future, ensuring we create lasting value for our customers, our communities and the environment.”  The phased approach has enabled Aubrey Allen to build its renewable energy capacity over time, maximising available roof space while continuing to invest as the business has seen the benefits of each installation. Angus Rose, Director at Ineco Energy, adds, "The greatest endorsement of any renewable energy project is when a client chooses to invest again. Phase Three is a reflection of the confidence Aubrey Allen has in the performance of its existing solar installations and the value they continue to deliver. Rather than viewing solar as a one-off project, Aubrey Allen has taken a strategic approach, expanding its generation capacity over time as the benefits have become increasingly evident." The installation was delivered while maintaining normal operations, ensuring minimal disruption to the site's day-to-day activities.

Humax and Paua Simplify EV Charging for Fleets
Humax EV Charging has partnered with Paua to help UK fleets simplify electric vehicle charging by bringing home, workplace, public and depot charging together within a single connected platform. The partnership combines the Humax MX7 Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G)-ready smart charger with Paua’s fleet charging platform, with a particular focus on simplifying home charging reimbursement for electric fleets. Using ISO 15118 technology, the Humax MX7 automatically identifies compatible company vehicles when they are plugged in at home. This enables Paua to capture charging data and reimburse drivers based on actual energy usage, removing the need for manual submissions, mileage estimates or complex expense claims. The companies say the collaboration also addresses the wider challenge of managing fleet charging and reimbursement across multiple locations. Organisations can currently find themselves using separate charging providers, reimbursement tools and reporting systems, making it difficult to gain a complete picture of charging activity. By bringing charging data, reimbursement and reporting together, the combined solution is designed to help fleet operators automate home charging reimbursement, distinguish company vehicle charging from personal household EV charging and manage charging across home, workplace, public and shared depot locations. Fleet managers can also gain centralised visibility of charging activity, costs and reporting while reducing the administrative workload associated with operating an electric fleet. The partnership is also intended to provide a foundation for wider intelligent fleet charging. Later this year, Humax plans to expand its commercial charging portfolio with a new 22kW AC charger for workplace and depot environments. The charger will use the same intelligent vehicle identification technology, allowing charging sessions to be automatically linked to individual vehicles across different charging locations. Jeff Kim, President of Humax, commented, “As more businesses electrify their fleets, we're seeing a growing shift towards drivers charging their vehicles at home. It’s more convenient for drivers, reduces downtime and makes day-to-day fleet operations more efficient. However, it also creates new challenges around accurately identifying company vehicles and reimbursing drivers for the electricity they use. “Our partnership with Paua addresses those challenges by combining the Humax MX7's intelligent vehicle identification technology with Paua’s fleet charging platform. Together, we're making home charging reimbursement simpler, more accurate and fully automated, while giving fleet operators greater confidence and visibility into charging activity across their fleets.” Niall Riddell, CEO and Co-Founder of Paua, added, “Electric fleet charging cannot be solved one location at a time. Drivers charge at home, at work, on the public network and increasingly at shared depots. Fleets need those environments connected, not four separate systems held together by spreadsheets. “Paua was built specifically to provide that connection. By integrating Humax's intelligent charger technology, we can provide businesses with greater confidence that the right charging activity is being attributed to the right vehicle, while giving fleet managers a complete view of charging across every location.”
