Schneider Electric, Robus and CompEx have become Associate Members of SELECT, Scotland’s largest construction trade association.
The three organisations join 25 existing Associate Members who work with SELECT to share the latest ideas and in-depth knowledge to the advantage of the wider construction community.
Iain Mason, Director of Membership and Communications at SELECT, says: “We are delighted that enterprises of the size and stature of Schneider Electric, Robus and CompEx have joined our Associate Membership scheme.
“Becoming an Associate is an opportunity for partner organisations to build stronger relationships with key players in the electrical contracting industry, and also to ally themselves with an established and successful trade body.
“Since its launch in early 2022, the Associate Membership scheme has proved extremely popular and has allowed Associates to speak to our members both through our print and digital channels and also face-to-face at the many events we run across Scotland throughout the year.
“It has also strengthened our own relationship with some of the industry’s most renowned names and allowed us to develop and grow events such as our Toolbox Talks, President’s Cup and President’s Lunch.”
David Pownall, Vice President of Services at Schneider Electric UK & Ireland, adds: “We have had a long and fruitful association with SELECT over the years, including sponsoring organisation awards, and we are proud to be included in an Associate Membership scheme which brings so many benefits to the electrical industry.”
Robus is a Dublin-headquartered global lighting wholesaler with customers in more than 40 countries. Established in 1984, it is now the biggest lighting company in Ireland. The company’s Chief Executive, Mick G Slein, comments: “Becoming an Associate Member of SELECT completely aligns with our best-in-class mindset and our vision of being our customers’ most trusted LED lighting brand. We look forward to building strong and trusted relationships with SELECT members as we continue to grow internationally.”
CompEx, the international scheme for competency validation and certification of people who work in explosive atmospheres, delivers a suite of training and assessment modules through a network of independent training and assessment centres to support electrotechnical practitioners in sectors including oil and gas, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage manufacturing and utilities. Huw Bement, managing director, says: “Our international safety and competency scheme is rooted in certifying electrotechnical technicians and engineers operating in hazardous areas – so becoming a SELECT Associate Member is hugely important for us. It’s a fantastic opportunity for CompEx to establish new industry connections and to continue building our existing relationships.”
