Last week, our Business Advisor Mark had the pleasure of taking Malcolm and Kenneth along to visit local business AIIR Environmental Ltd.

Having supported David and Kate over the years, it was wonderful to see how their business has grown and evolved. Hearing them share their story, showcase their impressive facilities, and talk about their experience as a local business made for a great visit.

We are so proud to work with businesses like AIIR Environmental and to celebrate their achievements. Thank you to David and Kate for such a warm welcome and for giving members of Falkirk Councils senior team the opportunity to see their success in action.
