SCOTTISH family business Spectrum Service Solutions has won a cleaning and waste management contract for the 2014 Ryder Cup at Gleneagles in Perthshire later this month.

Spectrum, based in Paisley, will work with fellow Renfrewshire firm William Tracey, a recycling specialist which has its head office in Linwood, to provide a "zero waste-to-landfill" event.

Among the other Scottish companies which have won contracts to service the 2014 Ryder Cup, which runs from September 26 to 28, are Perth-based transport company Stagecoach, which is providing bus transfers, and Aggreko, which will supply temporary power.

Spectrum has significant experience of major events. It has provided cleaning and recycling services at Hampden Park for more than eight years, where it has worked at events including the 2012 Olympics and Scottish Cup and concerts by artists including Robbie Williams, Take That and Bon Jovi.

Spectrum and William Tracey have worked together recently to provide services to other large-scale events such as The Great Scottish Run, the Scottish Open Championship at Royal Aberdeen, and BBC at the Quay this summer.

Sara Speirs, managing director of Spectrum, said: "We are delighted to have been awarded this contract. It is a major event in the world's sporting calendar and it signals the realisation of our aim to become Scotland's premier event cleaning company. We are already established in many other sectors for contract cleaning, facilities management and specialist cleaning, and management of waste.

"However, this latest win highlights our versatility and understanding of all the markets we operate in."
