The first competition – Great Britain's first international skating competition in several years – was held in 1978. The '''Rotary Watches International''' was sponsored by the Rotary Watch Company at a cost of over £25,000. Alan Pascoe, spokesperson for the Rotary Watches Company, stated that "it has been very exciting and has provided skaters from throughout the world with competition."<ref>{{Cite news |date=13 October 1978 |title=Ice-skating fans want more |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/herald-express-ice-skating-fans-want-mor/198706202/ |access-date=1 June 2026 |work=Herald Express |page=16 |via=Newspapers.com |issue=16,198}}</ref>
The Rotary Watch Company continued its sponsorship in 1979, but in 1980, sponsorship of the competition was taken over by the St Ivel dairy company, and the name was changed to the St. Ivel International.<ref name="SI1980" /> In 1988, the event was renamed the '''Skate Electric UK International''' in recognition of the sponsorship of British ice skating by the Electricity Supply Industry.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2 September 1988 |title=Electric start to the season |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/epping-ongar-and-villages-west-essex-ga/198733005/ |access-date=1 June 2026 |work=West Essex Gazette |page=92 |via=Newspapers.com |volume=CX |issue=6180}}</ref> That sponsorship continued through 1990.<ref name="SE1990" /> The competition originally scheduled to be held in October 1991 – the United Kingdom International – was cancelled due to loss of sponsorship,<ref name="Skating-October1991" /> and was never resumed.
Medals were awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance, although each discipline may not have necessarily been held every year.
