Minister to speak at special SELECT President’s Lunch in Glasgow



Government minister Ivan McKee will be the headline speaker at a special SELECT President’s Lunch, which will be hosted in the spectacular surroundings of the voco® Grand Central Glasgow hotel on Friday 30 September.

This unique event will see around 100 special guests gather for a high-profile networking celebration, during which we will honour a special recipient with our Lifetime Achievement Award.

Guests will include senior political and construction industry figures, along with other representatives from leading UK electrical and construction organisations. 

Mr McKee, Minister for Business, Trade, Tourism and Enterprise, will be guest speaker at the invite-only event, which is being held in place of the SELECT Awards.

A number of Associate Members have kindly agreed to sponsor the lunch, including:

  • Electrium as official headline event sponsors
  • MacRoberts as official drinks sponsors
  • Luceco as official entertainment sponsors.

SELECT Managing Director Alan Wilson said: “In light of the ongoing impact of the pandemic on events, we have decided not to hold the traditional SELECT Awards this year.

“However, we still wanted to give Central Board and fellow industry bodies the chance to meet and network, and we look forward to catching up with sector colleagues later this year.

“Such an event is designed to be reciprocal and ensures we hold our own among similar events run by other organisations and industry bodies, maintaining our strong links across the sector.”

Alan added: “We are also grateful to Associate Members Electrium, MacRoberts and Luceco for their generosity in sponsoring the event.

“Further sponsorship opportunities still remain, so please contact our team if you are interested in joining us for what promises to be a special occasion.”
