New appointment marks the expansion of our piling division

We have announced more expansion this month with plans to upscale our piling division, as well as the appointment of large-scale earthworks and piling industry expert Stuart Cain to lead our new larger division.

This strategic change signals our further investment and growth, and the expansion of our piling division follows a solid start to 2016 with our previous announcements of both new premises and a £1m investment in plant earlier this year.

Our new operations director Stuart Cain, has worked on a number of large-scale earthworks projects across Canada, Ireland and the UK – predominately in London and the south-east –  including The Medway Tunnel in Kent, the Kensington High Street tower blocks and the Tower Bridge apartments.  His significant experience in both CFA and Rotary Bore Piling will allow him to work alongside our existing business infrastructure to provide an integrated service to clients and undertake larger enabling works contracts across the UK.

Kevin Mackenzie, Commercial Director adds: “Stuart’s appointment and our commitment to upscale our piling division demonstrates both our investment, willingness and our capability to provide our services throughout the UK.

“We believe that Stuart’s experience on a variety of key projects nationally will naturally complement the existing range of groundwork improvement services that we offer, and provide the perfect platform to increase the capabilities of our piling division.

“As our business continues to grow, we’re constantly looking at ways in which we can deliver more for our clients and their projects.  Our latest investment will allow us to undertake larger enabling works contracts and use our full range of services in order to create innovative and cost-efficient solutions for our clients.”

Stuart Cain, Operations Director adds:  “It’s a really exciting time to be joining the team at GDL.  The team has a real desire to take its expertise and knowledge to a wider audience across the UK, and I’m looking forward to sharing my experience and embracing their forward-thinking approach to offer comprehensive results for our clients.”
