Fiona Harper, The Secretary of the


SJIB, was given a standing ovation after rounding off the evening with an emotional toast. She told guests: “It’s wonderful to look around this room and see so many familiar faces who have helped make the SJIB the formidable body it is today. “Between us, I think we have paid


a fitting tribute to an institution that plays such a central role in the Scottish electrotechnical industry.”
