Tayside’s £1,000 thank you to NHS
he Tayside branch of SELECT has made a generous £1,000 donation to NHS Tayside’s COVID-19 appeal in recognition of its ongoing work
during the coronavirus pandemic. The move was the brainchild of branch chair Tony Harvey, who said: “We wanted to do something to say thank you to our local NHS for its fantastic work, both over the past weeks and before the COVID-19 lockdown. “We have accrued a pot of money in our branch funds over the years from various sources and felt £1,000 could be put to more productive use in the NHS Tayside Health Fund than simply sitting in our bank account.”
Tony, a manager at Ness Electrical, which operates from Forfar and Brechin, said he and his fellow committee members came to a unanimous decision to donate the funds.
Lorna Donnelly, of Tayside Health
Fund Fundraising Support Team, said: “We are touched and delighted by this donation and I can assure its big-hearted Members that it will be put to excellent use.” Emma Jane Wells, Chair of
Tayside Health Fund, added: “I would like to extend a huge thanks to the Tayside branch for this generous donation. It is gratefully received and will be spent on alleviating suffering caused directly by COVID-19 within the local Tayside area.”
Spotlight on Lutron prize winner Neil
SELECT Member Neil Ross was the lucky winner of Lutron products worth £650 in a special prize draw held during a recent webinar co-hosted by SELECT. Neil, of ACR Electrical Systems,
received a Lutron RA2 Select Starter kit and lamp dimmer during the online session in June, which advised Members on how to take advantage of smart home opportunities when work returns to normal. Neil said: “Te seminar was really
enjoyable and informative.” Te session was one of several
hosted by SELECT in partnership with BEMCO and Lutron to explain the opportunities in smart home lighting. Tey are now available to watch again on SELECT’s YouTube channel. Darren Brindley, Branch Manager

of BEMCO Edinburgh, said: “We’re delighted for Neil and this is a perfect starting point for ACR to develop the smart technology side of their business. It will be interesting to monitor their progress and we’ll certainly be there to support them.” Julian Barkes, Director of BEMCO,
SELECT’s social media presence continues to rise, thanks to a recent competition to attract new followers to our Twitter and Facebook channels. Member Gordon Young won a £50
Amazon voucher as we reached the 500 followers mark on Facebook. As CABLEtalk went to press, a similar competition on Twitter was just 100 short of its 1,500 target. Te increase means our Facebook and
Twitter followings have doubled in the past year, with successful relaunches of our LinkedIn and YouTube channels also helping to keep Members updated and spread the word to the industry and general public.
said: “We’re grateful to SELECT for letting us put on these webinars. Hopefully we've shown that the Lutron RA2 Select products can help Members modernise their business and offer simple to install whole home smart solutions as an extension of their existing services.”
