ASLEC was formed in 1952 as an Association of trading organisations,
with the prime objective of representing the interests of Companies

maximum efficiency. There were 10 founder member companies and now there are
over 80 Members, whose contracting activities
range from street lighting, traffic signals and signs to highway communications and close circuit
television systems.
2. Objectives
- Today ASLEC's main objectives are:
- To set the standard for highway electrical contracting work and to
ensure that its members conform to these standards;
- To be at the forefront of operator training within the industry and to
ensure that all member organisations train their operatives to the
requirements of the Highway Electrical Academy;
- To represent the interests of its members in all areas but especially by
