A Hamilton-based company, Procast, has achieved success by winning the project management company of the year award at the national energy efficiency awards. The firm, which is currently working on a new development in the town, was the only Scottish recipient at the UK-wide event. Procast’s work in retrofitting “hard-to-treat properties” was recognised for its excellence.
Procast is collaborating with the West of Scotland housing association to construct a development of 12 flats at the former Low Waters bowling green, adjacent to its Alness Street headquarters.

Last year, Procast also won the insulation and fabric installer category at the Scottish final.
The award ceremony took place in Birmingham and was hosted by TV presenter Mark Durden-Smith, with comedian and actor Jason Manford presenting Procast with their well-deserved accolade. The company’s managing director, Derek Innes, expressed pride in their work, highlighting the energy-efficient and future-ready features of the new homes at Mitchell Court, such as solar panels and electric vehicle charging points.
The development will include a communal garden and contribute to the housing association’s affordable housing stock in Hamilton. Procast’s commitment to creating energy-efficient and comfortable homes aligns with their vision of meeting the needs of residents both now and in the future. The company’s dedication to sustainability and community well-being has been instrumental in their success.
