Graham Spence, Site Manager at Victoria Grange said: “I’m delighted to have won a Quality Award. It’s a fantastic honour, not just for me, but the whole team at Victoria Grange. They all work incredibly hard and take great pride in ensuring that the homes we build are completed to the highest possible standards.”

We get children at Seaview Primary reading with a donation for new books

We have donated £250 to Seaview Primary School’s library in Monifieth to celebrate World Book Day, which took place on Thursday 1st March. World Book Day aims to encourage more children to love reading and Taylor Wimpey’s donation will go towards providing children in school with many more new books to enjoy.

Scott Haxton, Headteacher at Seaview Primary School, which is located near to our Victoria Grange development, commented: “I would like to say a big thank you to Taylor Wimpey on behalf of everyone at our school. We really appreciate their donation, which will go a long way towards new reading material. Books are a great way to fire up children’s imaginations and to teach them about the world around them, so it’s brilliant to be able to add some new titles to our school library.”

Local football team scores sponsorship in Monifieth

We have shown our support for local community football in Monifieth by providing the sponsorship for two years to the 2009s at Monifieth Athletic Football Club.

Soccer School Co-ordinator, coach and treasurer for the club, Richard Heggie said:  “We’re thrilled to have received this support from Taylor Wimpey East Scotland for the next two years.  It has helped us to establish our new 2009s boys’ team and provide them with professional football strips, and we are grateful for their support of initiatives like ours in the local community. 
  
“The 2009 team is currently playing as part of our Soccer School as well as Fun Football Festivals that are held across the area.  They will start to play 7-a-side from March next year and they will progress each year ultimately to under 19s.  

“Setting up a new team at the same time as Taylor Wimpey has opened its development of new homes at Victoria Grange provides the ideal timing to launch our sponsorship.”

Commenting on the sponsorship, Karen Armstrong, Sales and Marketing Director said:  “We support community football teams across the east of Scotland, so it’s great to extend that support to Monifieth Athletic Football Club and for them to be able to establish a new team.  

“This sponsorship allows us to show our support in the local community, and it also gives us the opportunity to underpin our commitment to create a fantastic range of family homes at our Victoria Grange development in Monifieth.”
