ECA given lifetime achievement award at SELECT’s anniversary ball

ECA and its Members were honoured at SELECT’s 125th Anniversary Grand Ball with a lifetime achievement award in recognition of its exceptional service to the electrotechnical industry.

Steve Bratt, Group CEO, and Ruth Devine MBE, ECA President, accepted the award.

Steve Bratt said:

“Everyone likes a prize, especially from an elder sibling, but we’ve just won a prize from an organisation that is 125 years old and has done amazing things for the Scottish electrical contracting industry and knows us very well. So the fact they have chosen us for this award is a real honour. 

“On behalf of our President, all the staff at ECA, and all of our Members, a real big thank you for such an honour and we look forward to working with you for another 125 years.” 

Ruth Devine added:

“This award is particularly meaningful because it acknowledges the long-standing collaboration between our two associations. 

“Together, we have championed apprenticeships, strengthened competence and supported businesses to deliver safe, high-quality work in a fast-changing industry. On behalf of our Members, staff and volunteers, I want to thank SELECT for this exceptional recognition.”

ECA will be celebrating its 125th anniversary in 2026 – look out for a series of anniversary communications, events and more coming soon.
