Our team kicked off 2025 with an exciting and engaging training day on the Aveva platforms, using the innovative Innovation Labs training materials, all delivered by the experts at Solutions PT!
The boardroom was buzzing with energy as our team dove into hands-on, interactive labs included a variety of engaging sessions, from designing modern architectures using MQTT Sparkplug B and OPC UA, to exploring innovation in HMI and SCADA systems. We also delved into the effective use of plant data through Historian and techniques for reporting to stakeholders. Each session was packed with valuable insights and practical knowledge that will help drive success in our projects this year.
And of course, no training session is complete without pizza – which was a major hit at lunch!
A huge thank you to Solutions PT for putting together such a valuable and enjoyable experience for the Elite team. We’re looking forward to applying what we’ve learning and continuing to innovate this year!

**Back on the Pitch! **
Last night, Elite’s “footballers” returned to the field with a renewed purpose and energy, diving into fresh challenges and friendly competition. With more than a few lively debates (and expletives) over things like the score, best goals, most outrageous misses etc.
A good start to the onset of winter.. well done everyone.

🎃 Happy Halloween! 🎃
Our team got a surprise visit from a mischievous Halloween gonk, who dropped off sweet goodies to keep the spirit alive! But the real question is… will it be a trick or a treat? 👀
Wishing everyone a Halloween full of fun, frights, and maybe just a few extra sweets for that all-important sugar rush! 🍬👻

Join us as we celebrate another successful year of fundraising with the annual Elite Control Systems and The North British Distillery Charity Bowls match! Our annual Bowls event at the West Calder Bowling Club was a big hit once again, with a delicious lunch supplied by local Thistles good friendly competition, and lots of fun.
After a hearty lunch, teams were formed, bowls were collected, and the games began. With the weather just holding out, the top two teams faced off in a thrilling final match, with NBD emerging victorious by just one bowl.
In keeping with tradition, the “throw a coin at the Bottle” followed along with a Raffle, raising and with generous addition contributions from both NBD and the Robertson’s Trust meant that over a £1,000 was raised for Alzheimer’s Scotland.
Thank you everyone who participated and helped make this event a success and here’s to another great year of giving back and having a great time together.
Well done everyone who helped and took part.

Which is a great way for the team to enjoy each other’s company prior to the summer holidays season starting. A big shoutout to our amazing chefs who organised and cooked for us – you did a fantastic job!
