Company involved in Scotland was Miller Construction, taken over by Galliford Try in a position of responsibilty and the fixes to the buildings.

Bringing it closer to home, Galliford is just up the road from here in Uxbridge, and have been involved in school building for years
A bit more about the 'deal'.
All 17 schools were part of a £360 million deal between Edinburgh City Council and ESP under the then Public Private Partnership (PPP) scheme launched in 2001 by the Labour government of Tony Blair. ESP effectively built and owned the schools, renting them back to the city council under a lucrative long-term contract. ESP originally included Miller Construction and Amey Asset Services.
