Developing the next generation of engineers has always been central to how we work at Turnbull & Scott. Our apprenticeship programme brings new talent into our Hawick factory every year, and now we’re extending that support beyond our own walls.

We’re donating surplus stainless steel sheet (2mm and 3mm) to Lothian College’s Level 5 Fabrication & Welding students.

The material had been written off from stock and was destined for scrap. Instead, it will now give learners quality material to practise on as they build the skills Scottish industry depends on.

Every skilled welder started somewhere. We’re proud to play a small part in their journey.

How is your business supporting the next generation of tradespeople? We’d love to hear. 👇

A workshop heating system should be engineered around your building, not the other way round. That means working through it in order:
1. Understand the space and how it is used
2. Reduce the heat loss before you size anything
3. Calculate the actual heat load
4. Choose the right energy source
5. Then, and only then, select the product
Get the first four right and the product almost picks itself.

Not every heating requirement arrives as a catalogue selection.

A country house hotel refurbishment needed electric trench heating in the lower brasserie, set into a curved recess. The curve was a spline rather than a constant radius, so at first it was unclear whether the geometry was workable at all.

Close collaboration with the architect and main contractor, plus several rounds of CAD exchange, got us to a final design of active and dummy curved sections with an outer radius of 6620 mm, sized to the recess rather than to a standard product. The project completed and closed successfully in June 2026.

If you have a curved, recessed or otherwise non standard trench heating requirement, we are happy to work through the geometry with you.

We ran an Air Curtain CPD last year, expecting a fairly quiet turnout. However, 16 people came, and the feedback was better than we'd hoped, so we're running it again on 31 July, 10 to 11am online. The session is CIBSE-approved, so it counts toward your annual hours.

In an hour, we will cover how air curtain units actually work (three operating principles, which sounds dry until you see how often units get specified against the wrong one), which UK and international standards apply and how they translate into a specification, the five most common applications, and where ACUs genuinely earn their place on a project.

Delivered by our own HVAC engineers, so if you've got an awkward doorway or a project you're stuck on, bring it. That's usually the most useful part.

A boiler economiser failure on a live production site is not just a repair job. It is a race against downtime.

Our team recently replaced one for a major Scottish spirits producer, on a live, operational facility, without disrupting the existing pipework.

We specified a cartridge type heat exchanger with an integrated bypass, engineered in carbon steel with finned tubing to match the site's exact thermal duty and available space.

Full fabrication drawings were issued at order. Our team coordinated delivery closely with the site, so they could plan labour and unloading for a large, heavy unit well in advance.

After nearly 10 years, it's time to say a very happy retirement to Kevin, our brilliant electrical engineer at Turnbull & Scott!

Kevin has been a brilliant electrical engineer and a genuine joy to have around. Whether it was his skill, his infectious good humour, or just the warmth he brought to every day, he's made this place better. We also hear retirement means more time for his photography, which is very well deserved.

As a Hawick business, we're proud of the long careers our team builds here. Most colleagues stay more than five years, and one team member has been with us for over 40!

What’s your favourite way to mark the retirement of a long‑standing colleague?

If your building runs gas-fired equipment, a significant portion of that energy is escaping through the flue.

Most facility managers know this in theory. Fewer have a clear answer to:

• Is my site actually a candidate for heat recovery?
• What does a realistic payback look like?
• What should I be asking a specialist before committing?

We're running a free 60-minute CPD session on Friday 29 May to walk through exactly that. Suitable for facility managers, building services managers, and sustainability leads. CPD certificates on completion.

Friday 29 May 2026, 10:00 to 11:00 (online). Free.

The Food and Drink Processing Scheme Scotland closes 12pm Friday 15 May 2026. It funds up to 40% of capital investment in processing equipment and heat systems, up to £400,000 per project.

The hardest part of the application isn't the form. It's producing the technical evidence and a defensible CAPEX quote in time.

We're handling that piece for free.

For plant managers and facility operators planning to apply, Turnbull & Scott will deliver a full technical report in around 7 working days: system drawings, written evidence, itemised quote, and payback modelling. Standard heater projects in 1 working day.

Projects we can support:

Electrification of process heat (replacing gas or oil)
Waste heat recovery from ovens, dryers, flue gas (up to 95% recovery)
Drying and cooling efficiency upgrades
Heat storage and buffering
Conditioning and maturation environments

We'll tell you honestly within 24 hours whether your project is in scope.
