St Andrew’s Hospice Airdrie – Christmas Tree Lights Installation

On Thursday 20 November 2025, Scottish Roads Partnership’s (SRP) contractor Amey was asked for assistance by St Andrew’s Hospice’s Facilities Manager John Heron. Their 28 foot Christmas tree had been delivered a few days earlier and they required an electrician with a lifting platform to instal their Christmas tree lights.

Amey’s Greig Stewart (electrician) and Denis Marley (Highways Operative) were dispatched in a MEWP (mobile elevated platform) and spent the full day installing thousands of lights on the evergreen tree that was sourced from the north of Scotland.

SRP provided a specialised vehicle and an electrician free of charge to the facility.

The staff at the St Andrew’s retail shop were very grateful for Amey’s assistance adding that the tree holds a perfect spot infront of the main entrance to the hospice, for both patients visitors and staff’s enjoyment.

Ends.
