Memorial cycle/walk to raise funds for Cancer Research
Braham Electrical, in honour of Paul Braham, is hosting, along with Newry Lions Club, a memorial leisure cycle/walk in aid of Cancer Research UK and N. Ireland. Paul was a hard working and dedicated individual who founded Braham Electrical over 49 years ago. Those who knew Paul personally would have known he had family and community spirit in abundance and supported every local event going. When Paul sadly passed away in September of last year, dozens of tributes were shared from those
who knew him and remembered him for his good character, generosity, and service to the community. The Paul Braham Memorial walk/cycle will take place on Sunday, 24 April. Those who plan to cycle will take off from the Albert Basin in Newry at 9am, while walkers will set off from the same location at 10am. Both groups will finish at Carlingford.

New quality scheme for circular economy in lighting
Industry leaders have backed a new circular economy assurance scheme designed to support the accuracy of circular economy claims from lighting manufacturers and suppliers. Set up by the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) and the Lighting Industry Association (LIA), the TM66 Circular Economy Assured Scheme will provide a quality mark for the design and manufacture of lighting products. Supporting the recently published ‘TM66 Creating a circular economy in the lighting industry’ and accompanying Circular Economy Assessment Methods (CEAM), the scheme forms part of this tool kit for manufacturers and specifiers to assess the circular credentials of products.
David Barnwell, Managing Director of Holophane Europe Ltd commented: “The TM66 Circular Economy Assured scheme provides participating manufacturers with a way to demonstrate their sustainability and provides a clear differentiation from unsubstantiated greenwash”. The scheme combines CIBSE’s deep sustainability knowledge and UKAS accredited certification expertise with the LIA’s Quality Assurance systems and independent UKAS accredited laboratory.
