Glasgow contracting firm Linear Design & Construct (LDC) has turned over £19 million in its first full year of trading, netting work for clients including KPMG.
The principal contracting specialist hailed the securing of new projects to the value of £19m, and is currently forecasting a forward order book of £15m for the year ahead.
In 2019 LDC has won key contracts or preferred bidder status for deals including an extensive office rationalisation project for South Ayrshire Council via Hub South West; the fit-out of Lothian Buses’ new flagship customer centre in Edinburgh; the renovation of the grade C-listed headquarters of the Scottish Bible Society;

The company has also bolstered its team with the addition of 15 “tier 1” staff.
Managing director Ryan Broadley commented on the firm’s progress. “This year has largely exceeded our expectations, yet it has confirmed the credibility and expertise of our offer within a highly competitive marketplace.
“The combination of a fastdeveloping reputation from a team of highly skilled and professional experts, to a dynamic and agile approach, has proved a key to our consistent success throughout 2019.
“I am confident that we have something to offer a broad variety of business sectors across both public and private organisations, looking for high-quality partners to deliver strong project outcomes.”
Chief executive Stephen Holmes added: “2019 has been an exceptional first year.
“The spectrum and scale of projects secured by LDC goes a long way to reinforce our position as a group and we look forward to the year ahead with great positivity and clearly focused ambition.”
