“For BBG, sponsoring the ERT Golf Day gives us the chance to show our appreciation to the independent retailers who are the backbone of our business. However, more importantly for us is the opportunity to demonstrate our support for ERT, because without its on-going commitment to reporting, analysis and education, the consumer electronics industry would be a poorer place. 

I know that the passion the ERT team have for this industry and the people in it will make this event one to remember for everyone lucky enough to be involved."

Paul Dawes, BBG's director of marketing

"We were delighted with ERTV's coverage of the 2008 Annual Industry Conference. ERTV filmed informative interviews on location with leading industry figures. These interviews were then broadcast on ERTonline.co.uk over a series of weeks, which, undoubtedly, helped to raise Retra's profile and brought the event to a wider audience.

"Well done to ERTV and thank you for support."

Louise-Lloyd Jones, communications executive, Retra

"Thompson has always used ERT as a way to promote stock disposal services to major manufacturers. With ERT being weekly, it provides both the retailer and the major manufacturers with an up-to-date view on the electrical market place."

Carl Thompson, owner of Thompson Electricals

“J R Associates started to work with ERT in the mid 1990s, using it as our main marketing and advertising platform. Here I am, more than 10 years later, after selling my shareholding in Alphason Designs, still using the same media in order to promote my consultancy business further. I’m presently very busy with new clients/projects, so therefore it must work (and it does!)”.

John Reddington, Big Red Sales

“I’ve enjoyed using the website since it first launched. It’s a well-engineered, intuitive website with excellent content that as a retailer I find keeps me in the loop with industry news and trends.”

Gavin Sykes, Bang and Olufsen (Lincoln)

‘Wallgate have worked with ERT for several years, and view ERT as a key partner in ensuring we communicate effectively with our target audience.’

Martin Foden, sales and customer account manager of Calculus Software Solutions

" D'Lec has advertised with various trade journals over its 16 years of trading. Most of these magazines have now ceased publication, however ERT has remained.  For us it is the only one worth advertising in! We get an excellent response each time an advert is run and it is our intention to continue to increase the advertising we do with ERT throughout 2008."

David Dobson, Managing Director of D'Lec Components

"Congratulations to ERTonline.co.uk on your first anniversary and what a year it’s been.

At Sony we have watched the site develop and cover a host of exciting stories that have affected the consumer electronics industry for both manufacturers and retailers alike.

ERTonline.co.uk is incredibly useful for news and reference and being available online and instantly accessible has helped to create awareness for our industry amongst a new and wider audience.

Sony continues to invest in the independent retailers and has communicated to our retailers through ERT for many years. Sony was particularly pleased with the positive coverage that our recent High Definition road show generated. "

"We wish ERTonline.co.uk every success for the future and looking forward to working with Sean and the team for many years to come."

Andy Benson, Sony UK’s commercial director

“I find ERTonline.co.uk is a natural on my internet favourites list and I regularly use it to read the latest news in our industry.

I still eagerly await my copy of ERT arriving on the door mat and I open it immediately, but there is a lot more that ERTWeekly.com offers over and above the magazine.

 For instance, sit down, watch and listen to the excellent three part interview with Laurence Harrison of Intellect. It’s brilliant – and you cannot put that into a magazine.

 Also, take a look at the Business Development Zone – great product training that’s just not the same in print.”

“Happy birthday to ERTonline.co.uk - keep up the good work, it’s great.”

Peter Mann, Retra President

“The content on the site is great as it reflects what’s happening in the market place.

The news updates are really informative, giving me a good indication of how the economy will develop in the coming year.

I look at the product pages regularly, as they provide all the technical information I need to do my job. I’d recommend the site, especially to small businesses involved in bulk buying.”

Sahuja Siddiqu, John Lewis (Milton Keynes)

“I’m a regular user of ERTonline.co.uk as it’s another convenient resource, along with the magazine, for up-to-date information on the news within the industry.

It’s also really handy being able to catch up on the sales training when I’ve got a spare moment on the
shop floor – essential for busy people like myself.”

Nigel Crouch, Comet (Ashford, Kent)

"ERTonline.co.uk is an easy and convenient way to keep up-to-date with industry news – it really is a must read for me."

Jeremy Ling, CEO, Philips Consumer Electronics UK

“For industry news 'as it happens', ERTonline.co.uk is unbeatable. I have watched members of the editorial team frantically writing up a story in the middle of a press conference.

The story is up online almost before the event finishes. ERTonline.co.uk is one of the best ways of keeping up to date with what's happening in our industry and a great way of keeping an eye on what the competition is up to.”

Dawn Stockell, brand & marketing manager, Electrolux Major Appliances

"ERTonline.co.uk has achieved success in its inaugural year because it has helped unite the industry as a whole while at the same time catering for the individual interests and needs of a varied audience, including dealers, distributors and manufacturers.

The site is a useful resource for monitoring competitor and market activity and it has become a reliable source of breaking news for the industry, tackling the current issues and trends that are important to us all.

At Sharp, our dealer support and in-store activities are essential to us and the site provides a forum for companies like ours to share information and maintain a good understanding of what's important to our dealers and other industry partners.

Congratulations to ERTonline.co.uk on its first anniversary and I look forward to its continued success in the years to come."

Paul Molyneux, managing director, Sharp Electronics (UK)

“Congratulations to ERTonline.co.uk on reaching its first birthday.

It is a great site for the consumer electronics industry and provides all of the industry product and
company information in bite-sized and easily digestible formats – from the succinct ERTV video clips to feature
stories.

And with it being online, it means that industry news is delivered straight to your inbox as it happens.”

Andrew Griffiths, head of CE, Samsung UK
