Smart Surface updates Welcoming our Smart Surface Research Associate Having been awarded funding from Innovate UK for a Knowledge Transfer Partnership project with the University of Strathclyde to further test and develop Smart Surface, we have now appointed our Research Associate, Bruna Lopes. Bruna will be working closely with Conor Boyle on Smart Surface with a focus on technical research which will enable us to test and capture the performance of the service under a range of environmental profiles. This is key to the development and growth of Smart Surface which will ultimately help our clients, and ourselves, contribute to the circular economy and reach net zero targets. Welcome, Bruna – we’re excited to see the impact of this important project.
Showcasing Smart Surface to MSP, Graham Simpson As we continue to develop our innovative Smart Surface service, we were delighted to welcome Graham Simpson, MSP for Central Scotland and Shadow Transport Minister, to showcase the strides we are making in sustainable practices and reaching our net zero targets. Graham initially visited our head office, meeting some of our young people to discuss their training and development journeys. This was then followed by site visits where Graham witnessed a demonstration of Smart Surface in action. Graham Simpson, Conservative MSP for Central Scotland, said,
“Construction is a vitally important sector to the Scottish economy and Mackenzie Construction plays an important role in supporting that sector and the Scottish economy. “I want to thank Andy Dalrymple and his team for taking the time to showcase the innovative approach they are taking to build a world class training and development environment. “The Scottish Government will continue to support employers like Mackenzie Construction to invest in skills and training to meet the changing needs of employers, the workforce, young people and Scotland’s economy.”
