Discover more about our work behind the scenes


A new brochure has been produced explaining some of the vital work that SELECT is carrying out behind the scenes.


The new publication, called By Your


Side, outlines the many different ways we work on Members’ behalf to help improve the industry for everyone. It reveals how SELECT is a tireless campaigner for regulation, presses for payment change and carries out political lobbying in Scotland and beyond.


It also explains the vital work we do to raise industry standards, improve working conditions and aid skills development by building relationships and serving on respected industry bodies. Iain Mason, SELECT Director of Membership and Communications,


said: “Our experts promote our Members’ interests in a variety of ways, from advising on essential technical and employment matters to conducting political lobbying. “However, this dedication often happens unnoticed behind the scenes – so this guide explains exactly how we’re always working on our Members’ behalf. “It explains clearly how we work around the clock to give our Members a strong collective voice, putting their needs first and creating a brighter future for us all.”


Copies of the new brochure


are available from your Member Representative and can also be ordered by emailing
