Local company celebrates quarter of a century with £3million orders.

CIVIL engineering and ground works company FG Construction has celebrated its 25th birthday in the same week as taking £3million in new orders.

The new business provided a double celebration for the Nottingham based firm which has seen its base in Lilac Grove, Beeston grow from a two-man company to the multi million pound concern it is  today, employing over 170 people.

"What better way to celebrate such an important milestone in our history than by winning this latest work," said Joint Managing Director John Garvin, who co-founded the company with Con Fitzsimmons in 1977.

FG Construction has built up a reputable portfolio of clients and project work as its operation has grown. It is now responsible for a vast majority of roads, sewers and general housing schemes across Nottinghamshire and the six surrounding counties.

It undertakes work for the major housebuilders including projects from some of the smallest bespoke developments through to major 300 home schemes.

Con Fitzsimmons added "It is down to the hard work, commitment and loyalty of our workforce that we continue to be a preferred choice for many of the leading housebuilding names in this part of the UK.

John Garvin added "our ability to adapt to the changing marketplace and needs of our customers means we have a very positive outlook for the future and a solid base for the further development of the business within the forthcoming years".

We can celebrate our 25th year in the knowledge that our business is flourishing and continuing to grow from strength to strength, our grateful thanks must go to every employee within F G Construction who have all played their part in helping us get to this position we are in today.
