Scottish construction "stealing a march"...

Oct. 28, 2011, 4:29 p.m.

I've just read an encouraging article in today's Scotsman. Mike Peasland, Chief Exec of Balfour Beattie Construction Services reckons that Scotland is "stealing a march" on regions outside of London. Apparently it's all thanks to the amount of spending on schools and hospitals projects as well as continuing grants for businesses. He goes on to make comments about how the region is stable thanks to the SNP government and the many investors such as Amazon & Mitsubishi coming into the area.

It's worth a read. You can check it out here: http://www.scotsman.com/business/scotland_stealing_a_march_says_construction_firm_chief_1_1939232
