HR Services Scotland, the rapidly-growing HR services consultancy, has been appointed as HR and Health & Safety advisers to Moodiesburn-based building contractor McEwan Osborne.
The brief from McEwan Osborne encompasses unlimited telephone and email advice to the company on all HR and Health & Safety matters, on-site crisis call-out, legal representation, site inspections and the production of regular audit reports.
In addition, HR Services Scotland will furnish its client with an ongoing, detailed review of all its employment contracts and health & safety policies.
MD of McEwan Osborne, Ian Osbourne, said: “As a growing business whose employees are engaged on a daily basis on construction sites we have to be fully aware of health & safety issues.
“Our relationship with HR Services Scotland means that we have unrestricted access to a high-quality, reliable advisory service which keeps us right on a pro-active basis. In addition, as we grow, so too do the numbers of HR issues we need to address, and again, HR Services Scotland’s consistent expert input means we never step out of line.”
McEwan Osborne provides a fully-integrated design and construction package for homeowners planning full builds, extensions, basement conversions, sun rooms, loft conversions and kitchen and bathroom installations.
With Quantity Surveying and architectural expertise as well as a full complement of quality tradesmen, it offers one point of contact from initial consultation, through design and construction to completion and handover.
Andy Purdon, managing director of HR Services Scotland said: “We are very pleased to have won this vote of confidence from a respected and well-managed business like McEwan Osborne. Our contribution will be to relieve the company of having to worry about its HR and Health & Safety issues and instead get on with the job of continuing to build a highly successful business.”
Lanarkshire-based HR Services Scotland has more than 150 clients and operates in England, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland as well as the Central Belt of Scotland. It employs 11 people and is actively recruiting as it continues to expand. It specialises in HR, H&S, employment law and profiling, and has a small, but fast-growing training business.
