The Great ElectricAid EURO2016 Predictor Competition!

euro-2016-competition.jpg

It’s coming up fast – Euro2016! The tournament kicks off on Friday 10th June. Northern Ireland start on Sunday 12th, and Ireland take on Sweden on Monday 13th. Are the Boys in Green the Leicester City of Europe? Which Boys in Green?

ElectricAid is running another fun and fund raising prediction competition. We want you to predict the outcome of each group-stage match. You will have 6 “bankers” to beef up tour points tally (be careful here – South Africa were my bankers to beat Japan in the Rugby World Cup!). You also have to predict each group winner, the 2 teams to make the final – and the ultimate winner. As a tie-breaker, you also have to forecast the total number of goals in the tournament. So, no pressure! Seriously, it’s a lot easier to get your head around than our Election Competition, and will give you weeks of fun as we update you on the Leicesters and Villas among our entrants!

We will give back 50% of the total entry pool (capped at €500) to our winner and runner-up. Depending on entries, that should mean €325 to our winner, and €175 to our runner-up – and you could win both!

It’s for a great cause, and will be a lot of fun. Just complete the attached spreadsheet, and return to Angelica Pacturanan at ElectricAid angelica.pacturanan. The easiest way of paying the €10 entry fee is to make a once-off donation direct from payroll at www.electricaid.ie – here’s the link: electricaid.ie/join-electricaid-esb-payroll.

You can also use the attached paper form if you prefer.

Entries close at 12 noon on Friday 10th June.

So get in touch with your inner Dunphy, and get forecasting! Why not set up sub-competitions with your workmates? Good luck to you all!

ESB Archives NEEDS YOU!

archive-20160519-b.jpg

Following the launch of www.esbarchives.ie we now need your help to ensure that we continue to preserve and maintain our corporate memory for both internal and external users of our archives.

Records you are creating today are the history of tomorrow.

Since the establishment of ESB Archives, we have accumulated a significant collection of archival material. We preserve over 8,000 boxes of archival documents, in addition our collection also includes electronic records, photographs, films and artefacts.

Our archives are a unique corporate asset that are utilised for important legal, marketing, innovation, communications and business decisions that form part of a historical business context. As a rule our archives are kept permanently and contain only information that explains and illustrates the key development and activity of our business over time.

Rather than being just a matter of nostalgia, our archive is an important investment in the future of our company.

Our collection thanks to your support over those years now forms an important part of the country’s archival records which can be used not only to trace the development of ESB but also at a broader level can also be used to shed light on the of evolution of the State.

It is estimated that about five per cent of all company records are appropriate for retention in our archive. An example of the types of records that we require are:

  • strategic plans such as business development and business continuity plans
  • major contracts and agreements
  • major project files (project brief, cost, implementation planning)
  • operating plans (documentation showing commercial activity)
  • strategic planning documentation
  • company reports for external enquiries or commissions
  • corporate communications and media relations
  • advertising material
  • market research and plans
  • photographs and film of key milestones across the business, example: innovations, awards, sports and social activities

Please contact us by emailing esbarchives or phone 01-6042146/42132 where our archive will be delighted to offer further assistance.

Where possible please provide photos or scans and a description of the records that you think have archival value.

For a more comprehensive guide to the types of material we require please click here.
