Toolbox Talks see 184 electricians add names to SELECT’s campaign for industry regulation
Posted: Tuesday, August 9th, 2022
The growing campaign for regulation of the electrical industry has received a timely boost after more than 180 electricians pledged their support for the crusade being spearheaded by SELECT. The industry professionals added their names to the association’s Wall of Support at a series of Toolbox Talks held across Scotland in May and June Scottish Construction Now has reported. As well as attracting record numbers of delegates, the roadshows also saw 184 electricians from a wide range of SELECT member firms giving their backing to the organisation’s long-running campaign for protection of title for the profession of electrician. In a further sign of its accelerating momentum, the campaign has also been endorsed by Certsure LLP, which offers certification services through the NICEIC brand, with managing director Richard Orton adding his name to the Wall. Orton, who joined the organisation in January, said: “Technical integrity is at our core and we are supportive of any initiative designed to strengthen standards, encourage continued professional development and ensure regular assessments take place. “Such initiatives highlight responsible electrical contractors, and subsequently enable consumers to make informed choices when selecting an electrical contractor. That is why Certsure is supportive of SELECT’s protection of title campaign.” Orton’s arrival on the Wall of Support follows that of Owen Thompson MP, Member of the UK Parliament for Midlothian and SNP Chief Whip, as well as a number of MSPs and other trade associations.
