Four employees from Clark Contracts have successfully completed their BSc Honours degrees in Quantity Surveying and Construction Management at Glasgow Caledonian University, marking a significant milestone in their professional development. Their achievements highlight the Scottish contractor's ongoing commitment to nurturing new talent within the construction industry.

Among the graduates is Liam, who joined Clark Contracts in 2022 as a Trainee Site Manager after completing an HND in Construction Management. While pursuing his BSc (Hons) in Construction Management, Liam has gained practical experience on various projects, notably the major refurbishment and extension of the former Galston Local Office for East Ayrshire Council.

Ben, another Trainee Site Manager, also graduated with a degree in Construction Management. Having joined the company in 2024, he balanced his studies with work on a substantial 280,000 sq ft industrial project for John Dewar and Sons. Drew, a Trainee Planner who joined Clark Contracts in early 2025, also earned his Construction Management Degree, contributing to the development of programmes for the pre-construction and construction teams throughout his studies.
