CeeD Has Moved

18th December 2009

The M74 extension has caused some degree of disruption for many businesses of late and CeeD has been no exception. However after a few hectic days, we’ve finally settled into our new home in Hamilton International Park. We continue to be generously hosted by our good friends at Babcock Rail who’ve been kind enough to spare room on the ground Floor of their Kintail House office. The neighbours seem quite nice - CeeD members Philips Lighting, Portakabin and Cookson Electronics are all close by - and we extend an open invitation to any passing CeeDer to drop in for a chat and a brew. You might even be our ‘First Foot’ in the New Year!

We’re at…
Kintail House
3 Lister Way
Hamilton International Park
Blantyre
G72 0FT

And our new office phone number is: 01698 203 420

Adopt An Apprentice

The Scottish Government has guaranteed to support apprentices made redundant in the economic downturn with a £2000 one-off payment. The “Adopt An Apprentice” scheme started on June 10th 2009 and entitles companies to £2000 salary support when employing a redundant apprentice. For more information, please visit the Skills Development Scotland website and scroll down to “Adopt An Apprentice” One such apprentice of which CeeD has been made aware is Scot Macdonald, a 3rd year civil engineering apprentice recently made redundant. If you have an opening for Scot’s skill set (or know of a company which does) to allow him to complete his training, there’s £2000 waiting…if you think you can help then please get in touch with Kevin at the CeeD office on 0141 800 5104 or get in touch via Contact CeeD.
