Tipperary electrical wholesaler wins national award for recycling efforts

Fethard Electrical Wholesale Tipperary scooped the award for ‘Best Performing Branch’ for lighting recycling 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. 

Fethard Electrical Wholesale Tipperary was recognised for its green, sustainable business practices for recycling waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) in 2023.

"We are thrilled to be recognised for our commitment to recycling waste lighting from our customers," said Pat Morrissey of Fethard Electrical Wholesale Tipperary.

"This award is a significant morale boost for our team and reaffirms our dedication to making a positive environmental impact, no matter how small." 

A total of 14 lighting recycling recognition awards were handed out across the six wholesale trade buying groups that form the AEW – CEF, EWL Electric, Fegime, IEBG, Kellihers and the Independents – with two awards presented per group for Best Performing Branch and Most Improved Branch.
