Contracts Builds On New Business Success

Mactaggart & Mickel Contracts has continued its bumper year of new business with a further two wins to deliver its ‘one-stop-shop’ building solution, bringing the total value to date in 2010 to £7.25 million.

The company will fulfil a design and build contract, valued in excess of £2 million, for housing association Places for People at Stuart Square in Edinburgh’s East Craigs.
