As you would expect, the many preparations for the forthcoming IER Awards are secured and now, eagerly waiting for all the remaining votes to determine the winners in the Manufacturer/Supplier categories.
This is where YOU play an extremely important role. But more about that later.
Firstly, on the Retailer front, entries were many and fabulously detailed. The IER Team would like to take this opportunity to say, THANK YOU for your valuable time and amazing efforts with your entries.
The task to scrutinise the details and select from the many Retailer entries has been solely in the hands of IER’s specially selected panel of judges who eventually, after hours of discussion and deliberation, discretely submit their individual shortlists to determine the winners in each category.
It must be stressed at this point; all shortlists are confidentially submitted and collated off-site.
The judging panel, along with all the guests, will not be now the winners until the actual Awards day.
This year more than previous, so intense were the quality of entries, these had to be distributed to all judging panel members several days prior to the actual panel meeting.
The knowledgeable, experienced and proficient judges also created the shortlist of finalists in the Manufacturer/Supplier categories.
NOW it’s your turn as we need YOU, the knowledgeable, experienced and proficient independent electrical retailers who rely on these innovative companies and ground-breaking products in the day to day running of your business, to help decide who wins. The link is below ….
YOUR vote is not just important to the winners; it’s testimony to the great relationship you have with your manufacturers/suppliers and the products the supply. Let’s also not forget the importance about the people we encounter throughout our business lives, a sentiment IER also share, People Make the Difference.
TIME TO VOTE if not already done so. Recognise your industry peers, support unparalleled innovation and reward those upholding the sector to the standard of excellence by helping to crown the next crop of exceptional manufacturers as champions at the 2026 IER Awards.
Whether nominated, recommended or winning, the IER Awards is the highest acclaimed celebration of excellence in the electrical retailing industry.
It’s also a time to reconnect with our industry’s very best. Attending to network with peers, entertain key clients or reward your colleagues for all their hard work.
Our industry’s leading retailers and manufacturers/suppliers will be crowned champions during the IER Awards ceremony on Friday 3 July 2026, held at The Riverbank Park Plaza, London.
In the meantime, the IER Team thank you for your voting and look forward to welcoming you at the 2026 IER Awards.
