This is just a short roundup of stories we’ve spotted over the past two weeks. We are always keen to promote good news and events on our members’ behalf, so contact us today if you’ve got something to share!
Over the course of the last month, Norscot have been very busy redesigning and modernizing both the Bower and Inverness showrooms, and are thrilled to be able to announce that they’ll launch the new showrooms to the public, in line with the reopening, on the 6th of January 2020!
The new showrooms will feature stunning new product ranges and designs, as well as exciting new colour and style options. They also feature the latest timber frame kit cross-sections, and a variety of internal doors options, offering luxury and sophistication, for reasonable, affordable prices.
They are incredibly thankful to their suppliers, Veka, Ravensby, Sealco, Palladio, Rembrand (Thurso), Highland industrial supplies, Howdens (Thurso), David Urquhart Joiners (Portsoy), The Perth Mirror Door Company and Pasquill (Inverness), for the supply of the superb new products, glazing, and furniture. As well as having great gratitude to their own Norscot fabricators, joiners and installers who carried out the redesign from start to finish.
Visiting the showroom gives you a real taste of what they have to offer, and can help to visualise what your home could look like with their help. Whilst the products in the showrooms create a stunning example of the Norscot range, they are really just the tip of the iceberg in terms of the multitude of design, colour and material combinations they have available.
2020 is shaping up to be a year of major progression for Norscot, as they are also very excited to announce the imminent launch of the newly designed Timber Frame Kit Home and Windows & Doors websites. The aim while designing the sites was to make the new websites faster, easier to navigate, and more user-friendly, and it is their belief that through innovative ideas and forward-thinking design they have achieved this! Keep an eye out for the official launch in 2020!
If you’re considering rejuvenating your home with some new Norscot windows and doors, thinking about a new home for 2020 or if you’re just looking for some inspiration, why not pop into one of the newly modernised showrooms this January and let them help you turn your ideas into reality!

FAST-GROWING Moray-based digital telecoms company Fibre 1 has announced a six-figure investment by the Fidelity Group, based in Henley-On-Thames.
It started trading in 2016 and in October 2019 the company hit the £1 million mark in contract wins.
The firm moved to Horizon Scotland offices in Forres in October 2018 due to expansion. It currently occupies three units and has extended its lease for an additional 12 months. Now employing seven full-time staff members, it will be actively looking to add to this next year as its growth continues in 2020.
Fibre 1 has recently announced expansion, with three key figures joining the company, each bringing their own strengths which is invaluable to the growth of the business. Jan Robertson has joined as operations manager, Cheryl Rhodes as account manager and Issy Welsh as provisioning executive.
The firm believes strongly in supporting the community. It is currently the short sponsors for both League Two side Elgin City FC and Lossiemouth FC who compete in the Highland League. Both clubs have recently signed affiliate deals which will see revenues go back to each club to support their fundraising strategies and community development programmes. Earlier this year the firm was announced as the Moray School Bank’s first corporate sponsor. Fibre 1 provide connectivity at its HQ in Craigellachie and give a percentage of revenue of all contracts signed to support this invaluable charity.
Successes this year includes the installation of a leased line to Caithness engineering firm JGC’s site at Janetstown. This project was complex and took a great deal of organisation as it needed to liaise with suppliers and co-ordinate the completion of external works, including the laying of cable along the route. These external works were required prior to the firm being able to install the fibre and take over the customer’s services.

Cyber Security Scotland has had an amazing few months, winning 4 awards and is finalist for a 5th to be awarded in 2020. But it’s not over for 2019! The firm’s year has ended on a Christmas high – winning a contract worth over £300,000 to audit every health board in Scotland.
Founder Dr Keith Nicholson (a keen astronomer) is over the moon! “This is fantastic news” he said “winning this contract in the face of fierce competition is testimony to our innovative approach to cyber risk audit and standards assessment. Through our research and modelling of security standards we have developed an unparalleled expertise in this area and our novel, practical and down-to-earth approach was a factor is us winning the contract.”
“It is particularly satisfying to win work like this, Dr Nicholson continued, because we know that the results of our work will have a wide impact and help to improve health board services across all Scotland.”
The contract was awarded by the Scottish Health Competent Authority to audit the compliance of health boards with the Network Information Security Regulations which were introduced in May 2018. These are a legal obligation for health boards and the SHCA monitors progress on an annual basis.
Dr Nicholson explained “Our approach to audit is to review against the regulations and to provide evaluations and prioritised recommendations for organisations to improve security. Our clients have praised this approach as risk-based prioritisation it is more helpful than the more traditional negative red-pen method of just creating a To-Do list.”
“I also feel that winning this significant contract is important for Caithness. It demonstrates that it is possible to build a successful technology consulting business in Far North Scotland and combine quality of life with business success.”
