From award nominations and continued investment in our people, to achieving new industry certifications and sharing some fantastic project updates, our team certainly have a lot to be proud of this month. Here is a look back at everything we’ve achieved throughout October:
Award Nominations & Business Milestones
It’s been a season of celebration and recognition for Lochlie Construction Group. We had a brilliant evening attending the Glasgow Business Awards, and while we didn’t take home Family Business of the Year, we were honoured to stand as finalists alongside so many respected local businesses.
The momentum didn’t stop there! In just one week, we were announced as finalists for two more major awards:
- The Herald Scottish Family Business Awards 2026: Finalist for Scottish Family Business of the Year (Medium). Our family ethos has been the heart of LCG since 2014, and this recognition means the world to us.
- 2026 ROCCO Awards: Finalist for Outstanding Performing Business (>25 Employees). We are looking forward to this year’s ROCCO Awards, especially as we celebrate some massive business milestones: hitting the £10m mark, launching four new divisions, and growing our workforce to over 70 incredible team members!
Celebrating Our People
- Darren White MCIOB: Our Project Manager, Darren White, officially became a Chartered Construction Manager with the CIOB! Darren brings over 12 years of management experience and is currently leading one of our largest luxury new-build developments.
- Kian Holmes: Our apprentice electrician, Kian, passed his Final Integrated Competency Assessment (FICA)! We are proud to support the next generation of skilled trades professionals, and Kian’s hard work has truly paid off.
- David Brown: David was named our Q3 Employee of the Quarter! Since joining us, David has made a brilliant impression on our P&D department, with his high standard of workmanship, attention to detail, and positive attitude.
Raising the Bar: Fire Door Certification
Lochlie Construction Group has officially achieved BM TRADA Q-Mark certification for both Fire Door Installation (STD052) and Fire Door Maintenance (STD058). Fire safety is critical, and this independent certification gives our commercial, public sector, and housing clients the ultimate reassurance that their fire door requirements are in expert hands.
Project Highlights & Ardura Archives
It has been a fantastic month of progress across all our sites. This month, we delivered:
- The New XEYEX HQ: We handed over a fantastic new office space in Bellshill for XEYEX! Working alongside Retail Experience Design and Harvey McLean Custom Joinery, our Site Manager David MacKinnon and the CORE Division transformed the space with bespoke joinery, double-glazed partitions, and striking exposed ceilings.
- Wet Wall Works (Hillington): We’ve broken ground on a major renovation for our returning clients at Wet Wall Works. We are transforming their new premises with a new extension, bespoke display walls, an open-plan glass-partitioned office, and upgraded facilities across the board to support their continued growth.
Beyond our recent handovers, we’ve been diving into the Ardura Archive to highlight the exceptional work delivered by our Luxury Residential Division over the years.
- The Ardura Archive – West End Townhouse: We looked back at our refurbishment of an 1880s sandstone townhouse in Glasgow’s West End. Our Ardura division sensitively restored period features while executing a full modern luxury upgrade – including a bespoke sauna!
- The Ardura Archive – Cart Shed Conversion: We also highlighted a stunning transformation of a derelict Ayrshire stables and cart shed into a high-spec, 2-bedroom cottage-style holiday let
Looking Ahead
As we head into November, the momentum shows no signs of slowing down. Our teams remain incredibly busy across all our sites, working hard to deliver exceptional results as we approach the end of the year.
