Two Kildare electrical wholesalers scooped awards at Ireland’s second Association of Electrical Wholesalers (AEW) awards in Dublin recently.
Sponsored by Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Ireland, the awards celebrated the best performers in lighting recycling across AEW’s 130 members in Ireland last year.
City Electrical Factors (CEF) in Naas won the award for ‘Most Improved Branch’ for lighting recycling while WESCO Electrical in Newbridge won for ‘Most Improved Branch’.
During 2025 AEW’s 130 wholesalers took back a total of 473 tonnes of lamps, fittings, and luminaires.
City Electrical Factors (CEF) and WESCO Electrical were recognised for their green, sustainable business practices for recycling waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) in 2025.
"We are delighted to be recognised for our commitment to recycling waste lighting from our customers," said Jack Cannon, Warehouse Manager at CEF.
"This award reaffirms our dedication to making a positive environmental impact and is a great boost for our team."
“We are incredibly proud to receive this recognition for our work,” said Willie Dunne, Branch Manager at WESCO Electrical Newbridge.
“It reflects the commitment and hard work of our entire team.
