The ERT Awards 2026 results are more than a roll call of trophies, they’re a snapshot of what’s working in UK electrical retail right now. We’re sharing the key winners in minutes, so busy integrators, retailers, and industry professionals can quickly catch up on the brands, businesses, and people setting the pace across custom installation, consumer electronics, and smart domestic appliances.

We talk through the ceremony at London’s Grand Connaught Rooms, hosted by comedian Scott Bennett, where 24 awards recognise retail performance, customer service, product development, sustainability, and emerging talent. For the custom installation sector, Potter’s Home Digital taking the Best Independent Electrical Retailer, Custom Install Award stands out as a clear signal that specialist integration services still matter, especially when customers want confident design, reliable install, and solid aftercare. We also flag strong retail performances, including Martin’s Hi-Fi being recognised for both shopfront and website, a reminder that modern success is built on a great in-person experience paired with a sharp online presence.

On the product and supplier side, we highlight Majority Audio’s Beaufell Halo Atmos Soundbar 5.1 Dolby Atmos surround sound system winning Best New Product in consumer electronics, plus industry recognition for training, customer service, and sustainability initiatives. We also touch on the newer categories celebrating individual achievement, and the wider context shared by ERT editor Will McGill: margin pressure, rising costs, and online competition, set against the resilience of independent retailers.

If you want the full list of ERT Award winners, head to the Inside CI website, then subscribe, share the brief with a colleague, and leave us a review so more people in the custom installation and electrical retail community can find the show.

Now lets hit play and catch up on the latest news.
