The bosses of property and construction firms Springfield Properties and MAK Architects are among over 200 business bosses that have signed a letter to the Scottish Herald backing a vote for Scottish independence.

The letter follows a similar one from backers of a no vote against Scottish independence released earlier this week, signed by the bosses of engineering giant Babcock and fit-out firm Morris & Spottiswood among others.

Today’s letter, in support of an independent Scotland said: “Scottish industry is often treated as a cash cow rather than a strategically important part of a more prosperous and fairer society.”

It added: “Scotland must look outwards to the world of opportunity that awaits us. A yes vote is the business and jobs opportunity of a lifetime for this and future generations.”

The letter was signed by over 200 business leaders, including Sand Adam, chair of housebuilder Springfield Properties; Ian and Thea McMillan, directors of Chambers McMillan Architects; and Gordon Darge, proprietor of MAK Architects.
