Double honours for MacLeod Construction
Lochgilphead firm MacLeod Construction Limited was named Building Contractor of the Year: Scotland at the National Federation of Builders Construction Awards of Excellence on Thursday April 15.
At the same glittering virtual ceremony, hosted by ITV journalist Nina Hossain, Kenny MacLeod – joint founder of the business in the 1970s with his brother Murdo – was given a Lifetime Achievement Award for services to construction.
On behalf of the firm, Jane MacLeod, wife of the late Murdo, said: ‘Thank you for this prestigious award. This has been an incredibly difficult year for our country and our businesses. I would like to pay tribute to and thank our wonderful workforce – past and present – all our professional colleagues, business associates and customers.’
Accepting his own award, a surprised Kenny said: ‘No one told me I had been nominated and I would like to thank those who did. I have spent my working life building homes and am proud of the achievements of our companies. I am most proud of the people who have worked with me and the young people we have together trained. Throughout this I have been supported by my wife Grace and my sons, and I would like to thank everyone for the award.’
