Tributes paid to former SELECT stalwart David

 

SELECT staff have paid tribute to former colleague David Wright, who passed away recently aged 72. 

David joined SELECT in 1996 and retired in 2017 after a successful spell as Head of External Affairs.  

During his two decades at The Walled Garden, he was instrumental in the name change for the association, moving us from The Electrical Contractors' Association of Scotland (ECA of S) to SELECT. 

David was also involved in a great deal of our lobbying activities at the Scottish Parliament and helped raise our profile among a number of influential politicians.

SELECT Managing Director Alan Wilson said: “David brought much positive change to SELECT and helped raise our profile significantly, paving the way for subsequent achievements. Our sympathies are extended to his wife Màiri and his son and daughter.”

Fiona Harper, Director of Employment and Skills at SELECT, said: “David was a valued colleague who worked hard to modernise the association and help establish our position in the industry. He will be much missed by all who knew and worked with him.”
