A 40-Year Partnership with Fife Council

Richardson & Starling are proud to celebrate over 40 years of working in partnership with Fife Council, providing essential timber preservation services across the region. Since the 1980s, we have supported Dunfermline, Kirkcaldy, and North East Fife District Councils, continuing this trusted relationship with Fife Council since its formation in 1996.

Long-term contracts in the construction sector are rare, but our commitment to quality, reliability, and collaboration has made this partnership stand the test of time. Our proactive approach ensures projects are delivered efficiently, with open communication and integrated working at every stage—from design and specification to completion. By reducing risks, maintaining transparency, and upholding the highest standards, we continue to provide exceptional service to the local authority and the communities it serves.

Beyond delivering expert preservation services, we are dedicated to supporting the communities we work in. A key part of our corporate social responsibility is investing in the next generation, with apprenticeships and training opportunities helping young people in Fife build long-term careers in the industry.

A Trusted Partnership

“Fife Council’s most enduring construction contract has been for timber preservation services with R&S. Quality, reliability and trust are the hallmarks of this partnership, which continues to be an exemplar for any company with integrity and the desire for a long-term working relationship.”
John Rodigan, Head of Environment and Building Services

This enduring partnership is a testament to our values—quality, professionalism, and a shared vision for the future. We look forward to continuing our work with Fife Council for many years to come.
