Naturally, being an award winner was a massive highlight, as it recognised the hard work our team have put into a great product and the award really is for them. The night itself was extremely well put together and a positive experience to network, collaborate and celebrate!”
Matt Burton, Managing Director, Aurora Lighting

“We were absolutely thrilled to be part of the Electrical Contracting News (ECN) awards evening again this year. I would highly recommend it to anyone who hasn’t experienced it before. The venue was stunning, setting the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable night. The food was exceptional and the overall atmosphere was vibrant, with great people from across the industry celebrating the incredible electrical products and projects of 2024. The entertainment was top-notch, with E17, the magicians, and the compere keeping the energy high and the audience engaged. To top it off, the Powercor team were ecstatic to not only win two awards but also to be highly commended for another. It was a fantastic evening, and we feel incredibly honoured to be part of such a dynamic and inspiring event. A huge thank you to everyone who made the night a success!”
Richard Grace, Managing Director, Powercor
“From start to finish, everything was organised perfectly, and the atmosphere was buzzing with excitement. The speakers were inspiring and winning an award at the event was the cherry on top! It felt amazing to be recognised for my hard work and dedication. The support from everyone around me made the moment even more special. I’m so grateful for the experience and can’t wait to see what next year’s event has in store!”
Gavin Harrison, ECN Apprentice of the Year 2024
“The ECN Awards was a great example of how an awards evening should flow. Relaxed atmosphere, great host, good food and drinks and a few surprises and special guests. Everyone seemed to be having a great time and celebrated the successes in the electrical industry. The InstallerSHOW will certainly be supporting this in 2025.”
Mike Costain, Managing Director, Lyrical Communications
“Great event, great location, food was really good, plenty of award categories and East 17, what’s not to like?!”
Simon Johnson, Country Manager, Theben Automation
“I would like to thank ECN and all the sponsors for putting on an incredible evening. The venue was eccentrically magical, with such a miss-match of incredible memorabilia, artwork and eclectic items. The whole experience was amazing, from the pre-drink stilt walkers and magicians, the food, the compare and even the ‘maybe’ authentic East 17 performance! Some of the Aztec team are adamant there were original members on the stage, some of the others are not convinced. I’m sure this will remain a topic of conversation in the office for some time! There were many worthy winners, and networking with some of them meant we have found new products and opportunities to work with more fantastic people in the future. All while spending the evening with colleagues and existing partners, letting our hair down and having a dance, after a very successful 2024.”
Andy Rowlands, Operations Manager, Aztec Solar Energy
“Following the ECN’s very successful first awards night last year, this year’s awards was another fantastic evening, celebrating the manufacturers, installers, training providers and apprentice winners of 2024. It’s also a great evening to catch up with so many industry friends in a very festive end of year atmosphere. Already looking forward to next year’s awards…see you there!”
Stephen Hurrell, Co-Founder, eFIXX
“I can honestly say that the ECN Awards are the highlight of the year for me. There are no other awards quite like it; from the warm welcome reception to the end of night circle on the dance floor, every moment of the ECN Awards is a privilege to be a part of.”
Louise McHugh, VVUK C&I Product Manager, Volution Group
“This awards evening is the best you can go to. There’s entertainment and a disco, what more could you want from something which is normally so formal and boring. Well done team.”
Nicky Moss, Office Manager, Moss Technical Services
“This year’s ECN Awards were truly exceptional, showcasing the very best in innovation and excellence across the industry. I asked myself before the awards how could the 2023 event be topped. The event was filled with inspiring moments, and the atmosphere was electric. Aico took home not one, but two prestigious awards – Training Provider of the Year and Manufacturer of the Year. These accolades highlight our dedication to setting new standards, both in empowering the engineers through outstanding training initiatives and in delivering our market leading products that drive the industry forward. The bar was lifted this year – what a phenomenal night to remember – see you in 2025!”
Robert Avery, Relationship Manager, Aico
“Aztec attendees had a lovely evening, very enjoyable, lots of good causes and worthy winners, very well organised and lovely company – Aztec will be back next year. Thank you very much for a super evening.”
David Ludlow, Operations Manager, Aztec Solar Energy

Not only is it fantastic recognition for all the hard work we put into making our software the best it can be for electricians, but the awards night itself was a blast.
