The Fire and Security Association (FSA) has announced that it has joined forces with Select, Scotland’s trade association for the electrical, electronics and communications systems industry, in an agreement that already involves the ECA.

Select’s inclusion means that membership of the FSA will rise to more than 200 firms – around 100 security specialists and more than 100 fire specialists.

This will make the FSA the largest UK industry group of electronic fire and security installers and give the FSA UK-wide coverage.

Steve Kimber, FSA chairman, said: “This is an extremely positive development for the associations. Fire and security installers face an increasingly challenging business environment, characterised by rapid technical change and greater regulation.

“Our members are part of the wider electrotechnical industry and we believe that working together with Select will help ensure that the whole industry is well equipped to meet the challenges ahead.”

Newell McGuiness, managing director of Select, commented: “We look forward to working with our colleagues south of the border to benefit our members and the industry as a whole.”
