Bellway surprises one-year-old construction fan
A construction team recently surprised one year old Harris Beattie at Bellway's Landsdale development in East Kilbride, creating a day to remember for the construction enthusiast.
Since moving to the development in May with his mum and dad, Sally and James Beattie, every day Harris sits at the balcony of his home to watch the diggers and lorries pass by on site. His love of construction quickly led him to make friends with the site team, waving at them daily.
When Andy Borland, Construction Director for Bellway Scotland West heard of Harris’ love of the vehicles he rallied round the sub-contractors to create a truly memorable day.
A William Hamilton lorry arrived outside Harris’ house with the lights flashing and horn tooting. Harris was then presented with his own sized PPE kit before being invited, along with his dad, into the cab for a site tour. He was then escorted to Advance Construction’s digger, where he sat in the driving seat before being presented with his own keepsake digger.
Sally Beattie, who moved to Landsdale from Newton Mearns, said: “He absolutely loved his day and hasn’t let his toy digger out of his sight since then. The team have been fantastic. We were one of the first residents to move into this phase of the development and every day he waits to see the lorries pass by.
“Since then, the team are always waving at him, stopping for a chat and have even read him stories!! They are all great friends, and we can’t thank them enough.”
Andy Borland, Construction Director for Bellway Scotland West, said: “It was fantastic to see Harris’ surprise and big smiles when the lorry stopped outside his house. The team love seeing him every day and you never know his enthusiasm might continue as he grows up.”
