WORKERS at a Barrhead firm are celebrating after picking up three prestigious awards.
A.C. Whyte & Co collected two prizes at The Herald Scottish Family Business Awards, including a coveted Customer Service Excellence gong for its commitment to putting customers at the heart of its operation.
There was also a special Recognition Award for office manager Karen Fraser to celebrate the integral role she has played in the company’s success over many years.
Elsewhere, the firm was praised at this year’s INCA (Insulated Render and Cladding Association) Awards, which recognise innovation, quality and excellence in the external wall insulation industry.
Company owner Bob Phin received an Outstanding Achievement prize in honour of a career that has spanned more than 30 years.
He was instrumental in growing A.C. Whyte’s turnover from £250,000 to around £13million.
Mr Phin’s daughter Jennifer now runs the firm as managing director.
