A DUMBARTON-based housing association has achieved Investors in People’s prestigious Platinum accreditation.

The group, based in Dumbarton High Street, have been praised for their commitment to excellence.

Assessors praised Cube, which owns and manages more than 3500 affordable homes in the West of Scotland and in their report.

They said: “The commitment of your people is infectious in the pursuit of excellence. Your people are great ambassadors of the Cube brand.”

The award of IIP Platinum came after an assessment in June.

It follows Quality Scotland’s award to Cube of 5-star ‘Recognised for Excellence’ accreditation earlier this year.

Cube Director David Mackenzie said: “This is the highest IIP standard and is only held by a handful of organisations across the UK.

“This is a tremendous achievement for everyone at Cube and reflects the hard work, dedication and commitment of all our staff. I’d like to thank everyone for the fantastic work they do every day.”
