T


he Walled Garden may have been in lockdown for the past ten weeks, but for SELECT it’s been business as usual as we continue to help Members deal with the realities of COVID-19.


Working round the clock, the association has pulled out all the stops to help contractors protect their livelihoods, ramping up existing services and launching a range of additional emergency measures.


Managing Director Alan Wilson said:


“We’re aware of the impact the pandemic has had on Members, which is why we’ve been determined to do everything that we can to help. “As well as practical measures like refunding membership fees, we knew that clarity was vital, which is why we rolled out such a wide range of support and guidance.” SELECT’s Employment Affairs team has worked tirelessly to produce expert guidance on everything from workplace disruption to furloughing.
