Keepmoat, the community regeneration specialist, has said it has secured £23m of Scottish contracts in the quarter.

The largest single contract is thought to be worth £10.9m and will allow insulation improvements to be made to 3,000 homes in South Lanarkshire. Other contracts involve upgrading the energy efficiency of social housing on behalf of a number of councils, such as East Ayrshire, East Lothian and Renfrewshire.


Eamonn McGarvey, Keepmoat Scotland Regional Director, commented: "These four contracts, and a number of smaller wins recently, bring the total value of contracts secured by Keepmoat in Scotland during the second quarter of 2014 to £23m. That's the best quarter we have had since starting to pitch for regeneration work in Scotland in 2009."

In a statement, the company added that is plans to expand its business in 2015, focusing on the refurbishment of schools and public buildings, new affordable homes and care homes.
