A factory in Fife is to close with the loss of 180 jobs under its owner’s proposals. The VELUX Group, which makes energy-efficient roof windows and skylights, plans to shut the site while moving its distribution centre south to the Midlands.
The VELUX Group said the closure was part of a strategic review of its manufacturing and logistics functions across Europe. It said it would concentrate production at fewer factories and reorganise its operations to boost the group’s “long-term competitive strength and cost effectiveness”.

Kitchens
Fife-based timber merchanting firm James Donaldson & Sons (JDS) has acquired two companies, opening up new product and market opportunities in the supply of door sets and bespoke joinery as well as kitchens. The company’s latest acquisition is an Airdrie based company called Rowan Manufacturing which specializes in made to measure staircases, door sets and windows and screens as well as bespoke joinery design for property development and home improvement.
The other aforementioned business is Smith & Frater, an independent company with bases in Bathgate and Grangemouth which supplies the construction trade and building industry with products such as kitchens, Fibo wall panelling, flooring and bathrooms. Managing director Scott Cairns said the acquisition was fitting with JDS’s plans to diversify its offerings in the UK’s house building, offsite manufacture, local authority and RMI markets.
The VELUX Group, which makes energy-efficient roof windows and skylights, has announced the closure of its Glenrothes operation, affecting up to 180 jobs in the process. Although the VELUX Group has a strong manufacturing base in Scotland, the company is making the strategic move to concentrate production at fewer factories to boost its long-term competitive strength and cost effectiveness. The VELUX Group is working closely with affected employees and local authorities to ensure they are offered the support they need.
Bathrooms
Bathrooms are one of the most important rooms in your home. They play an essential role in our wellbeing, helping to relieve stress, relax and rejuvenate. This is why it is so important to get the right design for your space.
Traditionally, bathrooms were viewed as purely functional spaces programmed to provide privacy and hygiene. This has been slowly changing, with more and more people recognising that the space they inhabit is a key part of their overall well-being.
As such, contemporary bathrooms have been re-imagined, shifting towards open spaces of relaxation and comfort. With tubs – with their inherent meditative nature – returning to the forefront of contemporary bathroom designs, they are now being used as a place to escape, unwind and recharge.
For a bathroom to feel calm and tranquil, it is important to think about the colour scheme and lighting. Try a warm and calming palette, evoking the sensation of a tropical sunset or a soft evening glow. You can also add feature lighting to create a more elegant and luxurious atmosphere.
Another important aspect of bathroom design is storage. Whether it be a vintage wall cabinet or a chest of drawers, it is crucial that your bathroom has sufficient storage to keep everything neat and tidy.
Luckily, this doesn’t have to be difficult. You can find a great selection of storage solutions at Fife-based Tinsmiths, including bathroom cabinets, toilet roll holders and other items for the bathroom and beyond. You can even buy stylish baskets that can be used to corral bath toys or other objects. This will help to make your bathroom more functional and practical, while also ensuring it looks beautiful.
