After a competitive tendering process, Saltire, which already operates in the region, was awarded a gas heating installation pilot contract with Angus Council worth over £250,000. The contract, which will see Saltire install new gas heating systems in 86 properties, will be delivered by local teams reporting to the company’s head office in Bellshill.

Saltire general manager John Reynolds said: “Earlier this year we announced our intentions to expand our operations up the East Coast and this contract win is another significant step towards realising our ambitions. Our local teams work exceptionally hard to maintain our excellent reputation and I am delighted that their efforts have led to new contract wins.”

Saltire, which was acquired by building services investment organisation United Capital in May, is benefitting from the local knowledge of its new colleagues from other United Capital group subsidiaries, McGill and Alliance Electrical Services.

John Reynolds added; “Saltire will continue to seek to win public sector contracts through competitive tendering and great customer service, a reputation that we have worked hard to build up. We are currently rolling out a large domestic heating marketing campaign and will continue to look at growth by acquiring other East Coast operators.”
