Clyde Gateway has appointed the contractor to undertake a £775,000 conversion of an old housing office in Rutherglen to a serviced centre for small businesses.

Some £1m of work has come through Clark Contracts' maintenance division, including reactive and planned maintenance works for 37 branches of JD Sports throughout Scotland.

Chairman Steve Clark said: "Considering the economic climate, this is a fantastic start to the New Year for us.  We are looking now to build on this momentum for the year ahead and winning such a range of different types of contracts underlines the breadth of skills and resources available here at Clark Contracts."
