Old Plean Roofing has been named Small Business of the Year at the Scottish SME Business Awards 2022.
Old Plean Roofing was shortlisted alongside Stirling-based bookshop The Book Nook and AMDetails, a car care products and detailing firm based in Elgin.
Commenting on the success, Fiona Thornton, co-founder of Old Plean Roofing, said: “We launched our business with the aim of improving industry standards and offering people an honest, efficient roofing service with a high level of competency.
“We hear so many heartbreaking stories about rogue traders preying on unsuspecting people and have even been involved in fixing the issues they’ve caused when they walk off site after failing to carry out a job properly.
“We want to demonstrate that there are good roofing firms out there and customer feedback suggests we’ve been successful in achieving our core goals.
“It’s great to be recognised for all we are doing to help raise benchmarks in the roofing world and we’re particularly thrilled to have won this award since it was decided by a public vote.”
Managing director Mark Thornton added: “We pride ourselves on our reputation and are delighted to win our first business award which recognises the first-class service we provide.
“We’re doing all we can to represent the roofing industry in a positive light and our aim is to become the roofing builder and maintenance contractor of choice in Central Scotland.”
Old Plean Roofing was set up by Mark and Fiona Thornton in January 2019 after several years running Thornton Construction Consultants .
Last year the company was admitted to the Guild of Master Craftsmen, becoming the first Scottish specialist roofing firm in seven years to be accredited by the organisation.
