Clearview has the Intelligence to claim a Champion award
A data and technology company which delivers “safer, greener and more intelligent infrastructure solutions” has been singled out for its progressive way of doing business.
Ayr-based Clearview Intelligence took the Champion Business prize at the conclusion of hub South West’s second Build Ayrshire programme.
Established 35 years ago, the £10m annual turnover business employs 45 people and operates from the Ayrshire Business Centre in Beresford Terrace.
Highly commended runner-up at an online awards ceremony was TCS Response, a Kilmarnock-headquartered business which provides specialist commercial gas and electric heating installation, maintenance and repair services.
Founded in 2011 it employs 20 people and has annual sales of £2.8m. The company was represented throughout the programme by office manager, Nicola McMurdie.
The Build Ayrshire programme guides local construction-related businesses on how to win more new, high-value work from Tier 1 contractors.
Kelly Morris, Head of Client Strategy and Sustainability at Clearview Intelligence, said: “We’re delighted that we applied for the Build Ayrshire programme.
“It provided a platform for us to present our offering to a number of Tier 1 contractors at once – something which would have taken considerable time for us to achieve ourselves.
“It was a fast, fun, and effective eight weeks and I would highly recommend it to any business in Ayrshire.”
The eight Ayrshire businesses which started the programme were Billy McGuire Joinery & Building and Clearview Intelligence, both based in Ayr, Kilmarnock-based, TCS Response, Thomson Hunter Architects, Stag Aluminium and Gas Boiler Technicians Limited, Dundonald-headquartered Lairds of Troon Limited and Highlander Security Systems of Troon.
Build Ayrshire, a development programme delivered by hub South West in partnership with East, North and South Ayrshire Councils, is a free to participate programme for SMEs across Ayrshire.
Now in its ninth year of operation, it was delivered in eight half-day online sessions of practical instruction and was free to attend.
Designed specifically for businesses in or serving the construction sector, the programme covered fundamental business topics including, business strategy, leadership & management, employment law, team communication, digital marketing / social media, tendering & procurement, cyber security, and cloud accounting.
Mark Houston, Supply Chain Manager at hub South West, said: “It was a privilege to work with Kelly and the other businesses on our second Build Ayrshire programme.
“We had a highly productive eight weeks and I believe all the participating companies gained significantly from the learning experience but being able to open doors to meet the Tier 1 contractors can make all the difference to a growing business.”
