Scottish Enterprise backs big thinkers to achieve even bigger success. If your business has the vision, Scottish Enterprise will be right behind you.
One such business is CCG, a full-service construction and manufacturing group based in Cambuslang. Its relationship with Scottish Enterprise started back in 2015. In the decade since, the company has expanded its product offering, implemented new technologies, and invested in its operations to boost productivity.
From humble beginnings to growth and greatness
The CCG Group was established in 1974 as a plumbing and heating business. Now, it’s one of Scotland’s largest privately-owned construction and manufacturing companies.
With divisions covering closed panel timber systems, windows and doors, flooring, utilities, and more, CCG builds approximately 1000 new homes per year, mostly in the affordable housing sector.
But how does a company not just survive over fifty years of economic change and
challenge, but grow so vastly?
It’s due to a combination of factors, but CCG says a big part of it is ‘never standing still’ and always asking ‘do we need to invest to do it better?’.
Targeting investment for productivity
One of Scottish Enterprise’s missions is to drive up capital investment in Scotland’s economy to increase business productivity.
But spending hard-earned capital can feel daunting for businesses, particularly without support to target that investment. Luckily, Scottish Enterprise can help you decide where to invest in your business for the best results – and it did just that with CCG recently.
It awarded the company a Mini Capex grant of £200,000 towards a £6 million project to buy and integrate state-of-the-art production line equipment.
Not only has the project created 67 jobs, but it has also drastically increased the range and number of PVCu products the company can produce.
Plans for the future
As important as it is to reflect on the past, CCG is very much focused on the future. And it has no shortage of plans.
One area it will be exploring is how it can build more environmentally friendly homes. This comes after it completed pioneering research in 2024 into ‘whole-life carbon’, which offered crucial insights about the carbon emitted throughout the housebuilding lifecycle.
With facilitating the energy transition as another of its key missions, Scottish Enterprise is excited to keep supporting CCG on its continuing growth and innovation journey.
And it’s always on the lookout for new, ambitious business to back – are you interested?
