A big day for us as a company as our 3 new Sany excavators are on display at The Black Isle Show ahead of making their way up the A9 tomorrow.

Our new SY75C, SY26C & SY10C will be heading straight out to various contracts throughout Northern Scotland.

A massive thanks to Blair from SANY UK & Ireland for his efforts getting this deal over the line. We have now purchased 5 Sany machines since 2023 and we look forward to putting our new 3 to work

🔑 Project Complete & Handed Over

Today we handed over the keys to another successful renovation contract. This time, at the picturesque Sandside Harbour, Reay

What started as a 3 bedroom bungalow with semi-detached bike shed is now a 4 bed with en-suite, walk in laundry room & detached games room with a full re-wire and new heating system fitted in between.

A huge thanks must go to our workforce and subcontractors who have worked tirelessly on the project.

This property will now be listed on unique-cottages.co.uk as a high end NC500 rental.

We wish Bob and Di the best of luck with their venture!
