Progress continues on the new Hub at Crossroads!

Solar panels, underfloor heating and the air source heat pump are all part of our effort to reduce our carbon footprint and make Ayrshire Food Hub as sustainable as we can.

Nearly there! So happy to provide a route for this project. It’s turned out magnificently in spite of a pandemic delaying everything.

Attending my first committee meeting tonight as vice chair of Ochil View Housing Association. Almost five years to the day of joining the committee.

As ever, we're here to support you and have alternative contractors in place ready to go. We will be in regular contact as part of our service reviews but please get in contact if you need anything further.

[Graham Collie @SPAGraham]

I've been in close communication with our contacts at ENGIE and wish them the best whilst they carry out this review. We have come to the mutual agreement to suspend ENGIE from any new opportunities. When the review is complete, we will decide on the way forward.

We put a lot of work into WH and toured all over Scotland getting Client feedback. The DPS operates centrally up to £250k, allowing genuine SMEs a chance to compete. Outwith the central belt it's unlimited as we know that local suppliers are so important. Click to find out more.

[Graham Collie @SPAGraham]

Starting to see positive changes this week. Many more companies now semi or fully operational. Our website is being updated today with the most up to date status. Hopefully this trend will continue over the coming weeks.

[Graham Collie @SPAGraham]

An Association very close to me! I'm a member of the Management Committee for five years this year. Two of them were as Treasurer.

[Graham Collie @SPAGraham]

The Scottish Government has ordered the immediate cessation of all non-essential construction works.

If you need any support during this time, we are here.

[Scottish Government @scotgov]

Guidance for the construction industry confirms that all non-essential construction work should stop immediately.

Only construction projects that are crucial to the health and welfare of the country, and are deemed essential, should continue.

#ThankyouNHS On 2nd March my Dad was diagnosed with bowel cancer. Today, just a month later, he has had the all clear after an operation to remove it 2.5 weeks ago. A blood check in six months then annual check ups to ensure no relapses. We are so, so lucky to have the NHS.

[Graham Collie @SPAGraham]

@m_shepherd1984 Thanks Mandy, good advice there. I'll have a search after work to see if I can find anything and post back. Hope you're keeping safe and well.

[Graham Collie @SPAGraham]

Is there any place where people can look to find out where they can help out our communities? I live in North Lanarkshire and I'd be happy to give up some of my evenings to deliver groceries or something to assist. My Dad is immunocompromised and I know how stressful this is.

[Graham Collie @SPAGraham]

It's great to work for a group that take the health of their staff seriously. Our offices will close today for the foreseeable future but that doesn't mean we're not here. Our mobile and email contact details are on our website. We will will be keeping in touch with you.

[Graham Collie @SPAGraham]

Superb

[Graham Collie @SPAGraham]

I was happy to the attend @sdpscotland Finding and Understanding Framework opportunities course earlier today. I also presented on what @ScottishProcure has to offer including our brand new DPS aimed at SMEs. Really useful to hear how tendering is viewed too, lots of work to do.

[Graham Collie @SPAGraham]

Taken earlier this week in rural Ayrshire. In the distance you can see the Crossroads Community Hub starting to take shape. Delivered by @HaddenConstruct through SCB2. Watertight by the next progress meeting, it’ll be good to see how it progresses.

[Graham Collie @SPAGraham]

Great new technology that is only going to become more prevalent. Speak to our friends at @CPC_Procure for a ready made framework covering Scotland and beyond.

[BHA @BHACommunities]
