Graham Construction Announces Expansion Plan In Scotland

Construction, asset management and project investment company Graham has announced major expansion plans in Scotland, with the opening of two new offices, one in Glasgow and one in Edinburgh.

Graham is listed as the UK's number six construction company in terms of turnover growth in a recently published Contract Journal.

Executive Chairman Michael Graham made the announcement, when the company took over the Tall Ship in Glasgow Harbour to celebrate five successful years of trading in Scotland, in which the value of projects secured in the region of the prestigious Saltire Awards.

Mr Graham said: "Since moving to Scotland five years ago, this country has become integral to our business and is very much part of our forward plans for the expansion of Graham. This year the value of our Scottish business is £80 million, with contracts in excess of £140 million through to 2010 already secured.

"In order to support this excellent business and to ensure that we continue to offer our customers the service they deserve, we will be opening two new offices in the Central Belt early in 2008."

The Glasgow office will be located at the Centurion Business Park in Seaward Place, G41 1HH and will occupy 6,000 square feet of office space. A total of 130 personnel will be employed. The company’s existing facility in Bellshill will be closed in March 08. Negotiations are currently underway for premises in Edinburgh, and it is expected this move will create future growth.

The Saltire Award-winning project for Graham was the £12.8 million refurbishment and replacement of elements of the Stobcross On-Ramp at Kingston Bridge Glasgow, completed in 2005. This has been accorded a Commended Award from the Saltire Society, in conjunction with the Institute of Civil Engineers.
