MCTAGGART Construction has paid tribute to four long-serving members of staff who are marking their 20th anniversaries with the company in the same year the business celebrates its own 80th birthday.
Office manager Kim Easton, payroll manager Lorraine Brackenridge, site manager Allan Russell, and contracts manager Tom McCombe each joined McTaggart in 2006. They have all helped shape the company’s growth, culture and reputation within the Scottish housing sector over the past two decades.
Kim Easton joined as an administrator and has since progressed to office manager. She said, “I feel incredibly lucky to have reached 20 years at McTaggart Construction. I’ve grown as a person whilst the company has grown too, and I’m proud of all it has achieved.”
Lorraine Brackenridge joined as an accounts assistant and progressed to payroll manager after the construction company she previously worked for went into liquidation. She added, “Joining McTaggart was the best thing I could have done. I can’t imagine not being here with all the gang.”
Allan Russell began his career with McTaggart as an apprentice straight from school and is now site manager. He said, “Reaching 20 years is something I’m really proud of. It’s been a rewarding journey and one I’m very grateful for.”
Tom McCombe joined as site manager and was promoted to contracts manager in 2015. He commented, “Two decades on, I’m still proud to be part of McTaggart Construction. It reflects the strength of the company and the positive working environment that has kept me here.”
MD Janice Russell said, “The people around us are what make McTaggart Construction the company it is, and to have Kim, Lorraine, Allan and Tom each celebrating 20 years in the same year is special. We are a business built on loyalty, trust and long-term relationships, and these four individuals embody exactly that. We are absolutely delighted to recognise their commitment and dedication, particularly in a year that means so much to us.”
