A Fantastic Day on the Fairways at Fairmont St Andrews ⛳️

48 golfers joined us at The Kittocks Course, Fairmont St Andrews for what has become a real highlight in the Hardies Chartered Surveyors calendar.

It was fantastic to see the day so well supported, bringing together longstanding clients, colleagues and industry contacts alongside many newer connections. The strength of those relationships, built and developed over the years, is something we’re extremely proud of and remains a hugely important part of Hardies.

Even a touch of famous St Andrews haar rolling across the fairways couldn’t dampen the atmosphere, with some great golf, plenty of friendly competition and an excellent opportunity to catch up away from the office.

As Hardies continues to move forward, occasions like this are a great opportunity to bring together the people and businesses we work alongside and celebrate the relationships that have played such an important part in our journey.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and made the day such a success, and to the team at Fairmont St Andrews for the first-class hospitality throughout.

📸 Here are a few snapshots from the fantastic course - along with our top two teams from the day.

12 teams. A fantastic venue. Great company. Another brilliant Hardies Golf Day ⛳️

🎪 Supporting a Summer Celebration at The Yard 💙

Some of our Hardies Chartered Surveyors team recently had the pleasure of volunteering at The Yard’s circus-themed Summer Party, helping out with what was a fantastic day for children, young people and their families.

As a valued client of Hardies, we’ve been proud to support The Yard through our professional services, so it was particularly rewarding to step away from our usual role and get involved first-hand in the wonderful work they do.

The Yard provides a vital lifeline for disabled children and young people and their families across Scotland, helping children thrive through inclusive play while delivering high-quality wraparound support for parents and carers.

It was a pleasure for our team to play a small part in such a special day and to see the welcoming, inclusive environment The Yard creates.

A huge thank you to The Yard for having us – we thoroughly enjoyed being part of the celebrations!

Project Update: Newcraighall Development Progress

It is great to see the continued progress at the Cullross Newcraighall Development, with each block now advancing through different stages of the build.

A particularly exciting milestone has been the er****on of the steel frame for the stair core of the apartment block. As construction continues, it will be fascinating to see the relationship between the steel frame and the timber kit take shape, showcasing the integration of these two construction methods.

Hardies Chartered Surveyors are pleased to be acting as Development Monitor on behalf of Shawbrook, and it’s been a pleasure working alongside both Shawbrook and Cullross Living on this development. We are looking forward to seeing the next stages progress.

🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️ Half Marathon for SAMH Completed ✔️💗

A message from Kevin Webster and Marion Mason after yesterday’s Dundee Half DRAM Half Marathon:

Yesterday, we proudly completed the Dundee Half DRAM Half Marathon - and we are delighted to share that, thanks to the incredible generosity and support of colleagues, clients, friends, and family, £1,740 has been raised for SAMH (Scottish Action for Mental Health).

Mental health is a cause very close to both of us, and we have been genuinely moved by the encouragement, kindness, and personal stories shared throughout this fundraising effort. The messages of support have sparked so many meaningful conversations, helping to raise awareness and understanding - which means just as much as the fundraising itself 💙

We are so very proud to support SAMH personally and through Hardies Chartered Surveyors and Shepherd Chartered Surveyors and we are excited to continue doing so.

If anyone would still like to donate, every contribution makes a meaningful difference: https://www.justgiving.com/team/teamhardies?utm_medium=TE&utm_source=CL
