AC Whyte, the specialist energy efficiency contractor, has been awarded a £2.69 million contract extension with East Ayrshire Council.

The new phase of works is scheduled to begin in July 2025, with an anticipated completion date of February 2026. The agreement also includes the potential for a further extension beyond this period, contingent on successful delivery and ongoing client priorities.
