INDUSTRY EVENT
EARTHING CONFERENCE
Thorne & Derrick are Official Media Sponsors & Exhibitors at?IDC Technologies, Inc.?Earthing Conference UK which took place at the?Park Regis Birmingham?this month.
The aim of this conference was to demystify the subject of earthing and present the subject in a clear, straightforward manner. Earthing as a subject has been under-represented over the years and this event will attempt to remedy the gaps in technical knowledge and improve practices in the industry. The UK & Europe need a unified practical approach to earthing which can be commonly understood and widely applied.
Jonathan Hewitt (sales engineer) said: “It was great to be back to the face to face at the conference. Lots of people attended and there were some fantastic speakers.”
Special thanks to our partner?AN Wallis?for attending alongside Thorne & Derrick.
