Our history
Our roots go back to 1956, when the current Managing Director’s father set himself up as an agricultural contractor in Fife. After a time, Tommy Gilmartin joined his father in a partnership, before eventually taking over in 1981.
The next major milestone for the firm was in 1986. This was when the name was changed to T&N Gilmartin (Contractors) Ltd, but also when Tommy Gilmartin recognised the need to diversify the range of services offered, in order to secure a more stable future for the business.
The first new areas to be added were civil engineering and grounds maintenance, with landscaping, street lighting and surfacing being developed later, in response to customer demand. As each area thrived, the company itself grew and continued to build the strong client base that’s the true sign of a successful firm.
Today we continue this pattern of steady growth and diversification. As a team, we’re looking ahead to making the most of new opportunities, while constantly seeking ways to streamline our operations and better serve our customers.
