Work With Us

Our Culture

For years at Elektra, we are synonymous with having an outstanding company culture that sets the tone for many of the perks and benefits new start-up companies are known for. We thrive on free monthly meals, employee trips and parties, financial bonuses, open office space, open presentations by high-level executives, a focus on teamwork and open communication, ongoing in-house training, encourage employees to further their studies offered by external bodies and above all a friendly environment. We have created a sense of belonging, a fun working environment to encourage personal and organizational growth. Elektra employees are driven, talented and among the best of the best.

Over the past four decades Elektra has expanded and keeping a uniform culture has proven to be somewhat difficult. We do believe that change is good. During the different company transitions we always kept an eye on opportunity and doors always found a way to open for us. Opportunity is key both for day-to-day business as well as on a personal level. We provide opportunity in creating a training environment where employees can train each other to learn and acquire new working skills. Above all, we believe that a team is not a group of people who work together. A team is a group of people who trust each other. Trust is one of our fundamental values within our company.

Our Philosophy – Evolve, Excite And Energise

Our company philosophy holds that great things in business are never done by one person, but by a team of people. We believe that to get from point 'A' to point 'B' it is crucial to have core values that are consistent with our mission to reach our target every time.

Evolve

Evolve starts with the individual, the employee and continues to build outwards to reach the customer. The 'Evolve' process at Elektra challenges the employees to rethink their approach, they learn how they can make a powerful and positive difference within their respective teams and in the whole organization. We believe that our employees can only lead well if they can empathise and connect with others, and this is only possible if they first understand their own strengths, weaknesses, values and motivations. Armed with this self-awareness they can build the skills they require to make bold decisions, grow from their mistakes, and find creative ways to move those apparently immovable obstacles. At Elektra we inspire and challenge those around us to achieve more and share what we have learnt.

Excite

Excite is the way we engage, inspire and persuade our people. This is how we communicate. We excite to guide, create order out of chaos to help us connect and find meaning during work. We share our day-to-day organizational stories as they often have value that is important to us. Such stories are shared so that our employees can relate to them, so that we build trust and belief. We go beyond facts and figures, so that uncertainty is turned into a scenario of planning, marketing, and delivering tough messages about market risk.

Energise

Energise is how we help our employees to imagine, invent and innovate. With the right working conditions bold ideas and original thinking thrive in the same way that seeds sprout with the right combination of water, light and warmth. When people have the right tools, the right mindset, and they are working in an encouraging environment, then thinking creatively turn into valuable innovations that will come naturally.

Our story

Elektra Ltd is renowned as one of the most reliable and quality-focused electrical and lighting companies on the island. With over 40 years’ experience in the sector, Elektra has set itself apart as a forward-thinking entity that leads the way – both with respect to its vast range of products, services and the dedicated team behind it.

Among its many highlights of 2017, Elektra recently appointed its new CEO - Mr Thomas Zammit - who has taken over from long-time CEO Gabi Cuschieri. As of 1 December 2017, Mr Zammit - who has grown through the ranks of the company since 2004 - has been handling the overall running of Elektra Ltd.

Elektra Ltd has been in the midst of change since 2016, when the Board chose to appoint a team of consultants and trainers to focus on the creation of a more customer centric approach. It was also around the same time that Ms Cuschieri decided to take a step back, and to allow a younger team to develop.

“As the eldest member of the team, I am proud to be passing the baton on to a much younger team,” says Ms Cuschieri, who was among the founders of the company in 1977. “They bring a very dynamic energy to our sector and have been trained to excellent standards. Together we are focused on solving problems from the outside, and really accompanying our clients on a journey towards a solution. We don’t only offer off-the-shelf products but strive to be bespoke in everything that we do. In fact, we are very proud of the portfolio of reliable brands that we have created over the years, all of which have been carefully chosen because they reflect similar values to ours.”

Mr Zammit has a strong vision for the future of the company. “Our strategy is aimed at a more customer-centric approach than ever,” Mr Zammit says. “We want to be of value to our customers in a manner that distinguishes us as a premium brand – but which still enables us to find solutions for all budgets. We are proud to take the time to listen and really tailor our products and services to exactly what the customer wants, and which matches the scope they hope to achieve.”

Now, Mr Zammit will be leading Elektra’s 40-strong team, and will also help the company to move further into the digital sphere. Beyond that, internal structures will evolve to better meet customer needs and focus will be placed on training. A few changes will also be made to the structure of the team, and it will now be divided to suit two key segments – Retail Clients and Comprehensive Solutions.

Looking to the future, Mr Zammit and the team are enthusiastically considering foreign market opportunities, while continuing to focus on major local projects and high-level investments. “We look forward to another 40 years of growth and success,” he concludes.
