His Royal Highness, The Prince of Wales, Duke of Rothesay opened W M Donald ‘s new headquarters on Wednesday 2nd October. The Duke unveiled a commemorative plaque and planted a Rowan tree to mark the occasion.
The Duke spent the morning at Netherley and enjoyed a guided tour of the entire W M Donald site, beginning with the purpose-built workshops, before moving on to the new two-storey office block which covers 10,000ft2.
The Duke spoke with employees from across the company and trialled ‘hands-on’ W M Donald’s new Volvo EC220EL excavator under the supervision of Willie Grant. The Duke also learned about the plant, equipment and technologies that underpin W M Donald’s ability to deliver challenging projects.
Willie Donald commented:
“At W M Donald we prefer to keep our heads down and concentrate on our work, but we are also very passionate about our team and ensuring they have the best working environment and equipment. For that reason, we decided to celebrate the opening of our new home and we were delighted when The Duke of Rothesay accepted our invitation.”
