We can fix almost anything 🙌
A dead board.
A failed inspection.
A job that's gone sideways at 4pm on a Friday.
The one thing electricians are rubbish at?
Admitting when we're the ones who aren't okay.
The construction trades carry one of the highest su***de rates in the country. More than three times the national average, according to the ONS.
Electricians are right in the middle of it.
We don't repeat that to be dramatic.
We repeat it because most people in our industry have never once been told it's alright to struggle.
Recently, Bright put a team into the Electrical Industries Charity golf day at Astonwood.
We played alongside the team from T James Electrical, Matthew Simpson, our newest Bright coach, Derek Hollingdale, and Adam Ashburn from Test Tube Marketing.
Final result? 7th out of 19. We're calling that a strong middle-of-the-pack finish and blaming the greens.
But the scorecard was never the point.
The EIC exists for one reason: to support the people in the electrical and energy industry through the stuff that never makes it onto a site report.
Mental health. Bereavement. Legal worries. Even emergency financial help when life caves in.
Because a better business isn't only about profit and systems.
It's about the people holding the whole thing together, and making sure they know they're not on their own.
On a lighter note, we've got the Bright golf day coming up. Wellingborough Golf Club, 25th June.
If you're in the trade and fancy a round, good company, and a fair shot at beating our 7th-place handicap, drop us a DM.
And if you, or someone on your team, is struggling, the EIC are there: electricalcharity.org/find-help
