Cllr Stuart Pratt, Peterhead South & Cruden

“I’m delighted that Livingston based Direct Savings have opened up a base to serve the North-east of Scotland here in Buchan.

“This is a positive investment in the Buchan economy and already eight people are employed at the site.

“Energy efficiency is increasingly important with the prospect of escalating energy bills and another harsh winter looming. I therefore wish the Direct Savings team at Boddam every success with their business venture.”

The eight new staff members at the Buchan Braes site, including manager Andy Oglesby, are on hand to help Buchan homeowners eliminate their fuel bill worries this winter and look forward to increasing their customer base even further.

Managing Director, Gerard Smith, is delighted with the firm's new premises, stating:

"We are honoured to have Stewart Stevenson MSP, Minister for Environment and Climate Change officially open our branch at Buchan Braes business centre.

"We have employed eight full-time staff over the past two months and hopefully will be looking to employ more in the foreseeable future."
