The project also included community benefit activity, including engagement with pupils from Loreburn Primary School and North West Community Campus Primary School.

It was a great opportunity to meet local businesses and connect with visitors throughout the day.

Nikki arranged our donation and met the team during the handover, helping add to the collection of selection boxes being shared with families across North Ayrshire ahead of the festive period.

Nikki attended the DWP Career Event at Saltcoats Town Hall and the Street League Academy in Irvine to discuss our apprenticeship routes.

Both events allowed people to learn more about trade roles and our apprenticeship routes.

Thanks go to LMA Architects, Clancy Consulting, Armour Construction Consultants and our supply chain partners for their key roles in the success of this development.

Projects like Mainholm also support our Apprenticeship Programme and wider community benefit initiatives, which remain central to our ethos.

A big thank you to the pupils and staff for the warm welcome, and a special mention for the thoughtful thank you card they made.
