The company has undertaken a detailed review of every one of its sites to implement the necessary safety requirements to protect staff as they return to work.

Those sites where work has restarted include two Premier Inns, as well as student accommodation, residential developments, together with the Great Tapestry of Scotland Visitor Centre in Galashiels.

Donald MacDonald, managing director at Ogilvie Construction, said: “We have taken a rigorous approach to planning the restart of work so that all our sites operate with all the necessary hygiene and distancing arrangements required to protect our staff and the public, in line with the advice from the Scottish Government.”
