ECA celebrates its 125th anniversary
A stream of activities will be held throughout 2026 to celebrate the 125th anniversary of the Electrical Contractors’ Association (ECA). ECA is the UK’s leading trade association for the electrotechnical services industry, covering England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The NI Regional Office is extending an invite to industry stakeholders to attend an ECA 125th Anniversary Dinner at the Culloden Estate and Spa on Friday, April 17. The evening will celebrate the industry and its people with a short video chronicling the rich history of the ECA and recognise the achievement and contribution of outstanding apprentices, finishing off with a lively Casino Night. Throughout the year, ECA will be showcasing 125 years of progress and a future full of opportunities through a range of activities at national and regional level organised in collaboration with its members. Four themes will be covered during the anniversary year: • Legacy and leadership • Skills and apprenticeships • Technology and transformation • Trust, integrity and value
The anniversary year launches with a film highlighting the journey that the trade association and its members have taken together. The electrical industry has experienced transformative change, both through technological advances and world-shaking events and crises. Today, as the UK heads towards its goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050, ECA and its members are again at the forefront of transformational change. Alongside this, a series of videos featuring ECA members will showcase the work they do to benefit all in the industry. ECA’s 125th anniversary year is being sponsored by Aico, Edmundson Electrical and Schneider Electric. Follow #ECA125 and #WeAreECA for all ECA social media activities related to this anniversary.
