Scotia
was founded on 13th June 1983 and started off with ten employees,
manufacturing around sixty frames per week.
By the mid eighties, Scotia had invested heavily to
manufacture PVC-U windows. As well as dealing with the domestic
market many local authorities recognised the long term benefit of
maintenance free PVC-U products and contracts were awarded in Kilmarnock,
Prestwick, Girvan, Ballantrae, Irvine and Saltcoats.
Demand for PVC-U products was increasing at such a
rate that by 1992 all our windows and doors were fabricated in PVC-U.
By 1994 Scotia decided to expand their range of products
to included conservatories. We are currently fitting on average
eight conservatories per week and have employed builders, joiners,
electricians, plumbers, architectural technicians, installation
managers and additional window fabricators to cope with the high
demand for this range.
Our next natural move was into roofline products,
i.e. replacement of fascias, soffits and cladding which affords
the same benefits of low maintenance to that difficult to maintain
area around the roof of your home. This has proven to be an extremely
successful product range and one that will bring tremendous growth
to our company.
Another successful move was new build, which accounts
for 40% of our production.
We now service a customer base of some 45,000 homes
across all divisions and are currently turning over in excess of
£8million and provide employment for almost 150 people.
In 2001 we secured an additional factory which houses
our finishing and glazing plant as well as our show centre. This
brings our total production space to 20,000 sq. ft.
