Expert pair take up senior SEC Group Scotland roles
Te Specialist Engineering Contractors’ (SEC) Group Scotland has welcomed two experienced construction professionals to senior roles. Gordon Matheson, former
President of the Scottish and Northern Ireland Plumbing Employers’ Federation (SNIPEF), has been appointed the new chair of the Scottish group, with Ken Lewandowski, former Local Chairman of Clydesdale Bank, being appointed executive chair. Gordon replaces Eddie Myles
of the Building Engineering Services Association (BESA),
who stepped down after seven years as chair. SELECT Managing Director
Alan Wilson, who is also National Executive Officer of SEC Group Scotland, said: “We are delighted to welcome Gordon and Ken to their new roles. Teir experience, integrity and expertise will be invaluable as we continue to press for positive change in the construction industry.” SELECT works closely with
SEC Group Scotland on a range of industry issues, including the current consultation on retentions.
He explained: “SELECTcerts Version 2.0 offers a far more user-friendly experience and comes with a few other tools built in, such as a scheduling calendar.
“It is designed to be easier to use on mobile devices with a simple step-by-step approach to completing certificates and reports. “For users who are Building Standards Approved Certifiers, it also features the ability to complete and issue Certificates of Construction.

user testing prior to launch, and we’re confident that Members will enjoy how easy it is to navigate and use. “All existing users will
now enjoy the first month of the new app free to allow them to get used to using the new system.
