THE Scottish Building Contract Committee (SBCC) Ltd has announced the appointment of Evelyn Scott as chair of the SBCC board.
Evelyn represents the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) on both SBCC board and committee. An experienced quantity surveyor and principal designer, she has worked in both the public and private sectors for over 25 years and is MD of Ewing Somerville Partnership Ltd, specialising in public procurement.
Evelyn said, “I am honoured to take on the role of SBCC chair and look forward to working alongside my fellow board directors and committee members. Together, we will deliver the new SBCC 2024 suite of contracts and continue to support the development of young professionals and the Scottish building industry as a whole.”
Existing board member Pat Loftus, who represents Build UK, has been nominated as vice chair.
The SBCC extended its thanks to outgoing chair Ysella Jago, who will continue to serve on SBCC board taking over the role of past chair from Euan Geddes.
Special recognition was also given to Eric Fleming, who stepped down from board as Scottish Building Federation (SBF) director. Eric has been involved with both SBCC and JCT for many years, dating back to before the incorporation of SBCC in 2003. He is remaining on SBCC committee.
The SBCC has also welcomed two newly appointed directors to its board: Dr Andrew Agapiou, representing the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland (RIAS); and Ross Mathie, representing the Scottish Building Federation (SBF).
