R.C.R. Safety and Training Ltd have recently moved to a new, larger office and training premises in Cumnock.

The Ayrshire-based firm, was originally based elsewhere in the village, but the building was damaged following severe flooding in December 2013.

The company's managing director, Robert Rae, subsequently contacted the local council to discover if assistance could be given with temporary accommodation in order to prevent a loss of jobs in an "unemployment black spot".

Barney Menzies, a local Councillor, responded and suggested accommodation assistance. Initially, the rental accommodation was for a period of six months, in order to allow the existing office premises to be repaired.

R.C.R Safety and Training Ltd has thanked its learners and clients for "their patience and continued support throughout the transition period to the new premises", and also Councillor Barney Menzies and East Ayrshire Council's economic development department for their continued support.

The firm's transition comes as it continues to expand the services it offers. It was recently approved to deliver first aid via the First Aid Industry Board.
