Construction bosses sign letter backing Scottish independence

摘要

The bosses of property and construction firms Springfield Properties and MAK Architects are among over 200 business bosses that have signed a letter to the Herald backing a vote for Scottish independence. The letter was published last week in response to a similar one from backers of a "no" vote against Scottish independence, published last Wednesday in the Scotsman and signed by the bosses of engineering giant Babcock and fit-out firm Morris & Spottiswood, among others. The letter in support of an independent Scotland said: "Scottish industry is often treated as a cash cow rather than a strategically important part of a more prosperous and fairer society." It added: "Scotland must look outwards to the world of opportunity that awaits us. A 'yes' vote is the business and jobs opportunity of a lifetime for this and future generations." The letter was signed by over 200 business leaders, including Sandy Adam, chair of housebuilder Springfield Properties; Ian and Thea McMillan, directors of Chambers McMillan Architects; and Gordon Darge, proprietor of MAK Architects.
