The number of Twitter followers for Scottish Housing News, which was established in 2001, has now reached over 12,900.

Welcoming the news, managing editor Graham Ogilvy said: “These are great figures for Scottish Housing News, confirming it as Scotland’s pre-eminent daily media for the social housing sector.

“We are offering our advertisers ever greater value as our audience grows. The success of Scottish Housing News is a testament to the hard work of editor Kieran Findlay and his back-up team of Lauren Brown, Connor Beaton, Jeff Anderson and Jim Ross.”

He added: “Scottish Housing News, along with its sister publications – Scottish Construction Now, Scottish Legal News and Scottish Financial News – is one of the very few online media success stories to emerge in Scotland in the last 20 years and I would like to thank all of our readers, advertisers and supporters for their support over the years.”
