Great company, fantastic food in the clubhouse and plenty of friendly competition out on the course.

Most importantly, a brilliant event in support of Ayrshire Hospice and the vital work they do across our local community.

Thanks to everyone involved in organising another fantastic day.

ISO Certified: What does it mean?

Having successfully maintained our ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications, we thought it might be good to look at what it actually means...

Being ISO certified demonstrates that robust systems are in place across the business to ensure quality, consistency, and environmental responsibility in everything we deliver.

For our clients, it provides confidence that projects are being managed to recognised standards, with a clear focus on continual improvement and sustainable practices.

A great effort from the team to uphold the high standards expected across the business.

A key part of AWD’s environmental strategy is turning long-term plans into measurable action.

In 2024, 264 trees were planted locally as part of ongoing carbon offsetting efforts. These are now projected to offset approximately 6.25 tonnes of CO2e per year.

With total emissions for 2026 recorded at 16.8 tonnes, this represents a significant contribution towards balancing unavoidable emissions.

A practical example of how small, local actions can support a much wider approach to sustainability.

Case Study Post – V&A Dundee

Some projects present engineering challenges unlike any other.

For the V&A Dundee, AWD designed a bespoke temporary propping system to support the building's complex curved concrete walls throughout construction. The solution supported over 2,240m³ of concrete and steel for more than a year, while more than 70 design calculations and 100 strengthening drawings were completed to meet the project's unique requirements.

It's a project we're proud to have been part of, demonstrating how innovative temporary works design can help bring some of the UK's most iconic buildings to life.
