The firm, which employs 227 people from six locations including the recent opening of their new Birmingham office continues to expand after again securing major contracts from local authorities throughout Central Scotland, housing associations nationwide and exclusive private developers, recently starting work on The Linn, a unique Victorian property on the Rosneath peninsula.

CGC has also invested £200,000 on a complete revamp of their IT network, including cloud migration meaning all operatives will now be using hand-held devices daily.
