The UK’s leading electrical retailers and manufacturers came together in London on October 23 for the ERT Awards 2025, a celebration of the very best across the independent electrical retail sector. The celebration which is in its 17th year, was held at The Grand Connaught Rooms in London, and welcomed guests from across the industry for an afternoon of recognition, networking and celebration.
With an incredible performance from Ben Hanlin, this year’s ceremony honoured the independent businesses and suppliers who continue to drive standards of excellence, innovation, and customer care throughout the electrical retail market.
In his opening speech, ERT Editor, Will McGill, reflected on the event: “It was a real pleasure to welcome everyone to the ERT Awards 2025.
“The ERT Awards once again brought together retailers, manufacturers and suppliers to celebrate and recognise the very best in the electrical retail industry. Now in its seventeenth year, it was fantastic to see so many familiar faces, and plenty of new ones too, joining us for the occasion.”
