PAISLEY scaffolders have scooped a national award for their charity work throughout the pandemic.

JR Scaffold Services won the Warmworks Scotland Communities Award which recognises building companies across Scotland who make a difference in their communities.

Throughout the coronavirus crisis, the company have been involved in food runs, delivering children's and babies' clothes and helping homeless charities move location.

John Horne, Managing Director of JR Scaffold Services said: “I am thrilled to receive the communities award from Warmworks Scotland.

"Our team are incredibly generous and thrive from the charity involvement which is an important part of our business.

"Being a part of the communities we work within is paramount and we are incredibly proud of some of the great works and contributions we are able to make this year and for the last 25 years we have been in business.

“We would like to thank Warmworks Scotland for the recognition in this area and we look forward to continuing with our charity endeavors as we move into 2021.”

Neill Barnes from Warmworks, said: “There is no doubt that JR Scaffold Services have gone way beyond the call of duty.”

“They have wholeheartedly committed to our Employment Skills Plan target, mentoring of young people and an array of charitable and community benefit activities to help some of the most vulnerable families in their area and further afield. This award is most deserving indeed.”
