McGill fires up gas servicing contract for Shire Housing

McGill Facilities Management has been awarded a three-year gas servicing and maintenance contract by Shire Housing in East Ayrshire, Scotland.

Under the £260,000 contract, set to run until 2024, Dundee-based McGill will carry out gas servicing and maintenance works at a large number of homes in locations across East Ayrshire. The deal includes an option to be extended until 2026.

In 2021 McGill acquired two FM companies, The McDougall Group, and Fife-based Kingdom Gas Services, enabling it to establish an experienced heating services division.

Errol Lawrie, McGill’s CEO, said: “We’re in a period of exceptional growth, and this latest contract award is yet more evidence that we are the trusted partner for a large and growing number of housing associations and other public sector organisations. With more than a dozen large contracts awarded to McGill in recent months, our leadership team has secured the mid-long term stability of the business.”

Douglas Smith, COO, added: “McGill is firing on all cylinders right now, and we’re a real good news story in an industry where some companies are struggling to find their feet again after the pandemic. With the breadth of services we deliver and the vast experience we now have across the group, we’re becoming the partner of choice for many sectors, including education and housing… And we’ll be looking to add more employees as we begin work on the huge number of contracts we’ve recently been awarded.”
