A LONG-STANDING Cumnock is taking a leap towards reaching its net zero targets.
Curtainwise has been in the town for decades, on a journey that has gone from under founder Mrs Mary McKenzie's stairs in her Barshare home, to its current location at Glaisnock Glen.
Even after almost 38 years, the business is continuing to take steps to transform how it operates.
After facing questions about scaffolding being erected around its building, the firm has now revealed that a large-scale solar panel will be installed on the full side of the unit.
The family-run business said: "A few weeks ago, many of you noticed the scaffolding around our building and wondered what was happening.
"Well, we’re delighted to share that it’s all part of Curtainwise’s journey towards Net Zero.
"We’re installing a large-scale solar panel system across an entire side of our building, allowing us to generate our own renewable energy and significantly reduce our reliance on the grid.
"This investment is a major step towards becoming more energy self-sufficient and reducing our environmental impact while continuing to provide the same quality products and service our customers expect.
"Sustainability isn’t just about the homes we help transform—it’s about the way we operate as a business too.
"We’re excited to see the panels in action and will share some progress photos soon."
