A Lanarkshire roofer that helped vulnerable customers during lockdown, and set up an academy to train new roofing talent, scooped two prizes at the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) in Scotland’s Celebrating Small Business Awards.
DMG Services Group, located in Bellshill, won the Start-Up Business of the Year award - sponsored by Business Gateway - and the Community Award - sponsored by Skills Development Scotland - at a ceremony in Edinburgh.
The business fixed a roof free of charge for a family who were victims of a rogue trader and offered free repairs to of any pensioners in their local village facing problems during the pandemic. In addition, the academy has allowed several local unemployed people to start apprenticeships in roofing since it was opened in December 2021.
