Shining a spotlight on industry excellence, the Northern Ireland Electrical Awards 2025 were held in Titanic Belfast on June 6.
Hundreds of guests attended a gala evening celebrating winners and highly commended entries across 18 categories recognising the best people, products, projects and companies.
Hosted by TV personalities Claire McCollum and Adrian Logan, the event also served as a fundraiser for the Electrical Industries Charity, with more than £3,500 raised for the charity.
Following a welcome reception, guests enjoyed a sumptuous three-course meal, entertainment from comedian Andrew Ryan and presentation of the 2025 awards.
This year’s independent judging panel was chaired by Stewart Nelson (NICEIC) and included Noel Harper (EJ Harper and Company) and well-known industry figure Angus Biggerstaff.
