A major alliance of eight engineering services bodies has been announced.
The new alliance will launch on 10 February at 10 am, via a virtual industry event.
The group will be “an agent for positive change and support the delivery of a safer, more productive and sustainable UK built environment”.
It draws together the key trade, technology, research and professional bodies within the engineering services sector and will lead the sector’s response to the building safety agenda and post-Covid Green Recovery, providing direction and championing the wider industry culture changes needed for their successful delivery.
The eight organisations bring a broad range of technical, practical and commercial expertise to focus on four strategically important themes – skills, building safety, carbon reduction and commercial issues in 2021.
The newly formed alliance consists of:
- The Building Engineering and Services Association (BESA)
- The Building Services Research and Industry Association (BSRIA)
- The Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE)
- ECA – Electrical and Engineering Services
- The Federation of Environmental Trade Associations (FETA)
- The Lift and Escalator Industry Association (LEIA)
- SELECT – the Electrical Contractors’ Association of Scotland
- The Scottish and NI Plumbing Employers’ Federation (SNIPEF)
The new name of the collaboration, along with its website, email and social media details will be announced at the launch. All members of the alliance will continue to retain their independent identity.
Registration is taking place now for the launch event.
