Arc-Tech Managing Director, John Gallacher said: "We are delighted with this direct contract award by South Lanarkshire College. Their team has been excellent to deal with prior to this site start and we look forward to working with them as works progress.

"Our affiliation with the College, of course, stems further than this contract with Sean and Finlay who have both thrived in their first year as trade apprentices, both theoretically and practically, and it's been a pleasure to see them progress."

Stewart McKillop, Principal of South Lanarkshire College also said: "The works that are being undertaken to improve the efficiencies of our main campus will go a long way to both reducing our carbon footprint and also the running costs of our building. We are grateful to SFC for providing funding to address the dilapidation issues which will provide a lasting legacy to our student body. We are looking forward to working with the Arc-Tech team in their phase of delivery."
