SELECT has celebrated the success of its associate membership scheme after welcoming the 40th name to its roster of manufacturers and service providers.
FireBlitz, a manufacturer of heat, smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, fire extinguishers and other fire prevention equipment, has become the latest organisation to sign up to the initiative, which has doubled its initial membership target and provided support for both the association and its members over the past two years.
Iain Mason, director of membership & communications at SELECT, said, “We are delighted to welcome FireBlitz as the 40th associate member of SELECT and their arrival is a real milestone for the scheme, which has exceeded all expectations. When we launched the associate membership initiative in 2022 our initial target was 20 members, so to double that number in just over two years is an incredible success and shows the value of such a scheme to both electrical contractors and the people who serve them.
“As well as giving associates the chance to play a key role in Scotland’s largest construction trade body, the initiative has strengthened our own relationship with the industry’s most renowned names and we look forward to working with FireBlitz in the coming months.”
As an associate member, FireBlitz can now promote its services to SELECT’s 1,240 member firms, enjoy access to a wealth of services and benefits, and work with the organisation to share ideas and knowledge to the advantage of the wider industry.
Brendan Simpson, sales director at FireBlitz, said, “Our FireHawk brand of smoke, heat and CO alarms have been the main supplier to the Scottish Fire & Rescue Service for many years and have been used widely throughout Scotland to meet the Tolerable Standard so it made complete sense for us to join such a progressive and respected organisation as SELECT. We look forward to working closely with SELECT and its members to provide information and training on the many proven and trusted products that come under the FireBlitz brand.”
