The June issue of ECN is OUT NOW and packed with insights and information on the topics you care about.
From the Editor
Hello and welcome to the June issue of ECN. This one’s a little bittersweet for me, as it’s my last issue as Editor, as I’m moving on to pastures new.
Over the past five years, it’s been an absolute privilege to lead ECN and be part of the incredible electrical industry. I can genuinely say it’s the most revolutionary, dynamic and welcoming sector I’ve ever worked in. The innovation, the energy and, most of all, the people – it’s been a real privilege to be part of it all. I’ve made some amazing connections and will truly miss being part of such a brilliant community.
On a personal note, I want to give a special mention to my partner-in-crime, Kelly. Working alongside her has been one of the greatest joys of my role. From industry events to internal meetings, her passion, professionalism and deep knowledge of the sector have been inspiring. Together, we’ve achieved so much – most notably launching the ECN Awards in 2023. The event is our shared legacy, and I’m incredibly proud of what it has come to represent. With Kelly at the helm, I have no doubt it will continue to grow and thrive.
I’m honoured to continue serving as an Ambassador for the Electrical Industries Charity, so you’ll still see me around on LinkedIn, championing the amazing work that the charity does.
I’m happy to say that ECN will be left in safe hands – Simon Rowley, who has been working as Deputy Editor of the magazine for the past year and who was also ECN’s previous Editor – is taking over the reins. Simon is a brilliant editor and knows the magazine inside out, so it will be business as usual for our readers and clients. I wish him all the best and know he will take the magazine to even higher heights. He can be contacted at simon@allthingsmedialtd.com or 01634 673163.
I’m not disappearing completely – I’ll be moving into the battery and energy storage space, so I’m sure I’ll bump into many of you again. And if you fancy staying in touch, feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn.
I’m not leaving empty-handed – I met my husband at ECN, so I’m taking a pretty special souvenir with me!
Thanks for all the support, the laughs and the inspiration. It’s been a real pleasure.
Take care and see you around.
