Stuart & Iain Barr have had a long and positive association with Newton Stewart Rugby Club with their business 3b Construction, they recently spoke to Rugby Club Magazine about their friendship with the club, “Some years ago we were approached by the club regarding potential sponsorship. Being both ex-players and rugby fans we were very impressed by the dedication of those involved at the club and felt we would like to help them a bit further than they asked and decided to finance a mini bus.

Since then, we have been regular attenders at Bladnoch Park and have enjoyed following their success over many years. As rugby club’s go Newton Stewart are a relatively new one, formed only in 1984, and one of the few clubs throughout Scotland, UK and possibly worldwide who have never tasted relegation.”

Stuart’s son Harry is a current U16’s player and Will his younger son is involved in the youth rugby set up at the club. Iain & Stuart continued, ”Youth rugby is so important for the future of any club, it’s vital that you have a conveyor belt of players coming through. Players get older and legs get tired, we can both testify to that, and with a first XV squad of only 24 players investment in youth development is essential. The service club members provide to their local community, including girls and ladies rugby, is second to none and is quite inspiring. The brand of expansive rugby the club are always trying to play is great to watch and has served them well while competing in a very tough league this season. Ourselves and all our staff at 3b Construction would like to congratulate everyone at Newton Stewart Rugby club on being recognised for their outstanding contribution to local rugby, and well deserved; wishing them all the very best of continued success for many more years to come!”

This £5m investment in a state of the art renewable energy facility will provide a sustainable solution to heating a multitude of buildings, including a hotel, through its lifespan via a network of district heating pipes. Buried into the hillside it will also be completely recessive in the landscape it sits in when completed.

The facility has been designed around our DfMA (Design for Manufacture and Assembly) strategy utilising, offsite manufactured, precast concrete components for the main structural elements. We will also assemble Mechanical and Electrical equipment off site and lift it in to final positions to reduce on site interfaces, testing and commissioning.

A £2.6m funding package has been completed to transform Whithorn’s former New Town Hall into a community hub and bunkhouse with 3b starting on site this month.

Its 16 beds will mainly be used by travellers on the Whithorn Way which visits a range of religious sites.

Julia Muir Watt of All Roads Lead to Whithorn said it was hoped it could help revive the town.

“I think we are just aiming to create a complete change in the direction that Whithorn has been headed which, for several hundred years, you could say has been downward,” she said.

“This is to create that social and economic change, it is a trigger for other investors.”

The town hall redevelopment will be completed by autumn next year and will include a gym and sports facilities and a learning hub as well as the accommodation.

It is hoped that it can attract people to stop off on their way along the Whithorn Way. The route starts at Glasgow Cathedral before heading to other religious sites including Paisley Abbey, Glenluce Abbey and Whithorn Priory. It continues on past Whithorn and passes St Ninian’s Cave and St Ninian’s Chapel before ending near the harbourside village of Isle of Whithorn.
