GLASGOW-based non-flammable cladding specialist, MSP Facade Solutions, saw a 40% month-on-month increase in trade during July after the easing of Covid-19 restrictions.
In Case You Missed It:
Due to this significant increase in work – driven largely by the government’s £1.6bn fund to repair unsafe cladding on high rise buildings and ongoing investment in public sector projects – MSP, which currently employs 35 people, has taken on two new welders and is looking for additional staff in its administration and sales support functions.
Gillian Thomson, branch manager at MSP Facades’ facility in Cumbernauld, said: “The construction market north of the border was pretty quiet in quarter two as the legislation was a bit slower to be lifted in Scotland.
“Thankfully, a lot of projects we’re involved in down south have kept us really busy.”
