Kirklandneuk Primary School recently took part in their World of Work (WOW) Week, an initiative to help inspire pupils about their future and the opportunities available to them through the success stories told by local businesses. Ronnie McGinlay (Partner), Pamela Evans (Estate Agent Negotiator) and Hazel McGinlay (Business Development Manager) at Walker Laird had a fantastic visit to the school, meeting staff and chatting with the pupils and it was encouraging to see such enthusiasm amongst the children regarding their career aspirations.

Art Competition

We also set the pupils across the whole Primary School a task to help ignite their creative flair and design two pictures: a lion design for P1-3’s and an Estate Agency “for sale” board for P4-7’s. The children were shown examples of the Estate Agency boards that are currently used and a photograph of the Walker Laird Lion, “A Lion for all Seasons” for some inspiration. The Walker Laird Lion was bought at auction in the Pride of Paisley event where the proceedings were split evenly between ACCORD Hospice and St Vincent’s Hospice. The lion resides loud and proud at our office in Paisley.

Walker Laird would like to thank all the children for taking part in the competition. It was great looking through everyone’s drawings and seeing the effort that was put into every design.

Massive congratulations to our 4 winners.
