‘Going Electric’ is coming back on the 19th of July 10.00 – 16.00 2026 to showcase all things electric.
Southern Vectis, the Isle of Wight’s leading bus operator, has been connecting communities for over a century. Committed to sustainability, they are at the forefront of electrifying their fleet, reducing emissions and setting a green standard for public transport. Their approach aligns perfectly with the island’s eco-conscious values. We’re thrilled to have Southern Vectis sponsoring the Going Electric show. Their support underscores a shared vision for a cleaner, greener future. By backing this event, they reaffirm their dedication to sustainable transport and community engagement.
Co-op’s focus on online home delivery has seen it grow from a standing start just a few years ago to become the leading quick commerce grocery operator. This success has been achieved through its own online shop –shop.coop.co.uk – and through its strategic partners which across the UK includes Uber Eats, Just Eat, Deliveroo and, autonomous robot deliveries with Starship Technologies. Co-op’s approach sees local stores act as fulfilment hubs for online orders, meaning that the High Street store benefits from the growth in quick commerce, with orders picked fresh in-store, then delivered quickly and conveniently in the local community.
Red Funnel was formed in 1861 as the ‘Original Isle of Wight ferry operator’. Today, we carry 3.4M passengers and 860,000 vehicles across the Solent each year.
