 News Headlines & Technical Articles - VoltiNEWS Part 2

Dear User,

Christmas brings people together and it looks like it's the time for partnerships in the electrical industry too.

Normally it is difficult to get busy electrical contractors off site to attend seminars. However, this is not the case for the NICEIC's free 17th edition seminars which have been running at many locations around the country and will run in many more to end March.

There is a clear message from two Voltimum partners, BASEC and NEXANS, about the use of non-compliant cable. The Nexans article below includes nice images of some of the checks that are carried out in their factories.

Please also take time to check out product innovations from Legrand, Elkay and MK. And DON'T FORGET to enter our great Advent Calendar draw. The prizes this year are very good indeed.

We hope you enjoy this issue! The Voltimum Team.

On My Desk: Jim Speirs, NICEIC Group Chief Executive

Have you ever wondered what the industry's influential figures have on their desk? From big Buddha figurines to Kylie chart toppers, you can tell a lot about a person by their desk.

This is why Voltimum's roving reporter, Frankie Snobel, scoped out the desk of NICEIC Group Chief Executive, Jim Speirs.

See what's on Jim Speirs's desk...
