AN Irvine-based energy efficiency specialist plans to radically expand its workforce after being appointed to an £800 million procurement framework, writes Scott Wright.
Green Home Systems forecasts it will double the 40 full-time equivalent and 25 self-employed contractors on its books after winning a place on the Scotland Excel energy efficiency contractors’ framework, under which it will work with local authorities to upgrade housing stock and install energy-efficiency measures.
The firm, which was founded in 2014, has been appointed to lots 2 and 3 of the framework, meaning it will provide fabric insulation services, renewable heating, and ventilation.
Steven Porch, operations director, said: “Being appointed to this framework is a terrific opportunity for Green Home Systems and highlights our commitment to a more sustainable and greener Scotland. It allows us to increase our investment in our staff and help them to further develop their skills in our industry.
“This contract will underpin our company’s growth strategy, and we are extremely excited to take the next step forward in our business plan.
“We cannot wait to help more customers create energy efficient homes through Scotland Excel.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
