A well-established fixture in the social calendar of Northern Ireland’s electrical sector, the Electric Lunch welcomed nearly 400 guests to the Europa Hotel Belfast on February 7. Hosted by TV presenter Adrian Logan, the event raised over £40,000 for the Electrical Industries Charity (EIC) through hosting a raffle and an auction. Guest speaker Jimmy Nesbitt regaled the crowd with anecdotes from his acting career, with guests also enjoying a four-course meal in the Grand Ballroom and a few fun games. The event was organised by EIC’s NI Committee, chaired by Ireland’s Electrical Magazine Managing Director Karen McAvoy. All proceeds go to the EIC, which benefits anyone working in, or having worked in, the energy and electrical sectors in Northern Ireland.
