The Influence of Politics

Politics is never far away from almost everything we do in life. Lomond Group recognises the importance of being aware of, and understanding these influences which determine the outcome of many aspects of business.

That understanding has led to an engagement across the political parties in an attempt to be guided in all that we do. Working cross-party has given us a better understanding of the political map and allowed us to develop meaningful dialogue with politicians at all levels. Their advice and guidance has been invaluable to Lomond Group and to the construction industry generally, particularly in these times of recession.

Parliamentary Cross Party Working Group on Construction

Given the significance of the construction industry to the Scottish economy, it is vital that it positions itself within the political agenda. The Cross-Party Group focuses on issues of importance to the industry in Scotland. The aim of the group is to ensure this country has a world-class construction industry delivering best value for its clients, a safe on-site environment and a proper career path and employment prospects for its people. Lomond Group is represented on the Parliamentary Working Group on Construction and the Skills Sub Group.
