Robertson Specialist Division has secured around £560,000 worth of work with SSE.

The new contract will see the firm install wall insulation at homes in the Dundee area.

Craig Robertson, who became Managing Director of Robertson Specialist Division in January, said: "This business has ambitious targets for growth and if we want to meet those goals then securing larger contracts is essential.

"In the past, we have served as a sub-contractor, both for other businesses within Robertson Group and for external companies. This represents the first contract where we will be the main contractor and illustrates the positive progress we are making.

"And while much of our focus previously has been on providing joinery services, we're now looking to add even more strings to our bow, with the work we will deliver for SSE an example of what we can offer clients."

As a sign of the business' expansion, Jason Paynter has been appointed as a new commercial manager to work with Mr Robertson on securing new contracts.

Having joined from Tilecraft, Mr Paynter is a trained quantity surveyor and supply chain manager who previously worked for Morris and Spottiswood.

Mr Robertson said: "When I joined in January I said if we wanted to achieve our goals we'd need to nurture some of the best young talent in the industry. Jason fits that bill, although he also brings plenty of experience which he has gained over the last decade."
