Basic Membership

Basic membership of Scottish Engineering includes the following:

Postal Information Service

All members receive regular updating on UK and European employment issues and are informed regularly on economic, business and employment matters. They are kept up-to-date with proposed legislation and advised on action required to conform to it.

Representation

Scottish Engineering meets the key role of presenting the needs of the manufacturing engineering industry to the relevant authorities. The aim of this function is to create the social, legal and economic conditions favourable to the effective conduct of the manufacturing business.

Member companies are consulted and given opportunities to influence and shape this vital activity.
