Taylor Roofs, a leading Scottish roofing company, has expanded into a new headquarters in Livingston.
The family-run business, which serves customers across central Scotland, including Edinburgh, Glasgow, and the Lothians, has outgrown its previous base in Bathgate. The new, larger premises will allow for future growth and improved customer service.
The new headquarters boasts 12 offices, a boardroom, a staff canteen, and a custom-built podcast studio. The company's popular podcast, Taylor Talks Trades, will continue to be produced from the new facility.
Managing director Jamie Taylor believes the move will enhance the customer experience and improve the working environment for staff.
"Having started our company from our kitchen and garden shed, to be where we are now is a very proud moment for my wife Kelly and I," he said.
"We had been looking around for a suitable property for a little while as we knew we were outgrowing our place in Bathgate and it was putting an artificial ceiling on our growth.
"A lot of hard work has been put in by a lot of people to get us to this stage and I'm really excited about the future. Our commitment to the roofing trade, our customers and staff has always been the priority for us and we will have a laser focus on that now.
"We have big plans for 2025 and are genuinely excited about what lies ahead."
Those plans include the launch of a consultancy with Jamie drawing on his experience of coming off the tools to grow a domestic trades business, with the new base having hosted a couple of pilot events.
"The additional space allows us to do this sort of thing which we could never have done in our previous premises," he added. "It's shaping up to be a busy few months on a number of areas."
