Dundee Duo takes Top Honours

Two men working for a Dundee building preservation company have been honoured at a top industry event.

The work of Steve Ferrier and John Shaw, was recognised by the Property Care Association (PCA) at its annual conference, held at Wembley Stadium.

Both men work at Intona, located in Fairfield Street, where Steve is a joiner and John a technician.

They have recently been studying for exams with the PCA, and jointly secured the student of the year in the Association’s specialised technician awards.

Steve and John flew down to London to receive their awards at Wembley from the PCA - a trade body that represents Scotland’s expert contractors, manufacturers and surveyors who specialise in damp-proofing, wood preservation, structural waterproofing and structural maintenance.

Yasmin Chopin, executive director of the PCA, which incorporates the British Wood Preserving and Damp Proofing Association, said: “It was great to see the student of the year award won jointly by two men from the same company and it reflects the high standards they both bring, not only to their organisation, but the building preservation industry in general.”
Intona was formed in 1994 and has grown steadily within the Tayside area. More recently it has also moved into construction and renovation.
