AS Scaffolding, the Glasgow-based group seen as Scotland's biggest independent, more than trebled its pre-tax profits last year to £460,973, according to accounts just lodged at Companies House, as higher turnover boosted margins.
The group is owned by Labour Party supporter Andrew Smillie, 60. Mr Smillie donated £1200 to the party in the year to March 31, as well as £2250 to charities.
The accounts show turnover rose by 16% to £6.57 million, with a direct impact on the bottom line, where pre-tax profit jumped from £149,621 to £460,973.
