Toolbox Talks

SELECT Toolbox Talks are held every year in May, June and July, covering the Borders to the Highlands and islands and everywhere in between. This gives us a great opportunity to meet our Members and deliver quick and 'to the point' information on current and relevant technical topics.

After a successful 2025 roadshow in our 125th anniversay year, the technical update sessions will return in 2026. 

Members will have the chance to ask questions and discuss matters face-to-face with our Technical Advisers and other SELECT staff will be on hand to answer any other queries.

Exhibitors from a range of leading manufacturers and service providers, including SELECT Associate Members, will also be there on the day, so you’ll have plenty of opportunity to see the latest technology first-hand.

Each event kicks off at around 9.00am with coffee and morning rolls, with lunch provided at the end of each session. And because we appreciate that Members have busy schedules, all talks are concise and to the point, with the day finished by 2pm. 

Members attending this year’s Toolbox Talks can pre-order their copy of Requirements for Electrical Installations BS 7671:2018+A4:2026 for £110.  Please e-mail [email protected] to place your order.
