To help deliver this landmark project, Kier is keen to extend its base of suppliers and speak to local sub-contractors in Renfrewshire. The company, together with hub West Scotland and Renfrewshire Council, is hosting a Meet the Buyer event on Thursday 6 June in Paisley Town Hall from 8.00am to 12.00pm.

Those attending will find out about what services and trades are needed to support the restoration project and how they can potentially get involved. Work on the historic building includes improving the performance facilities and visitor experience, providing new catering and conference facilities, better physical access, and improved mechanical and electrical systems.  

Gordon Reid, regional business development manager for Kier in Scotland, said: “We are committed to supporting local contractors as we carry out this important heritage project and we look forward to meeting new and existing suppliers and discussing the many construction opportunities available to them, now and in the future.”
