Knockcronal Wind Farm –Local Suppliers Register

Chamber Member Statkraft is seeking local suppliers to join their register for the proposed Knockcronal Wind Farm, approximately 5km from Straiton in South Ayrshire.

The project, currently at a local public inquiry, if consented could power up to 48,000 homes with clean green energy. The wind farm is also expected to generate up to £6.7 million of contract spend within South Ayrshire during the development and construction phase.

Booth Welsh Holdings Returned To Original Ownership

Booth Welsh Managing Director, Martin Welsh, along with the senior leadership team, are delighted to announce the successful completion of their Management Buyout. This marks an exciting new chapter for the Ayrshire-born business.

As of April 2023, the full umbrella business, Booth Welsh Holdings, is now fully owned by the senior leadership team. This returns the business to its independent roots under which they successfully operated for the first twenty-five years in operation from 1989 to 2014.

Ayrshire Chamber Platinum Partners Booth Welsh, and their subsidiary iTech, will continue to develop a strong brand and culture, operating as an agile and responsive business with a 300+ workforce. Operating throughout the UK and beyond, Booth Welsh will remain headquartered at their existing premises in Irvine. This is wonderful news for the business and the community as they continue to grow their operations.

A range of goods and services are needed to build a project and many local companies would be suited to get involved. We are interested in hearing from companies that usually supply construction sites, as well as off-site services such as lodging, restaurants, catering and car hire.
