The group, which works for Lidl as well as many of Scotland’s leading housebuilders, purchased the business from Jim Adams, who remains a consultant, and has appointed a new management team.

The Irvine business, which employs 12 staff, has worked on projects including a new Campus at Kilwinning College and an extension to Park Hotel for Kilmarnock FC, as well as numerous domestic dwellings and extensions to residential properties.

Michael Carlin, co-founder of G M Civil Group, who will lead the Irvine based team said: “We’re delighted with the acquisition which will help drive our growth plans for the Group.
“The new management team are already looking to expand the business and recruit more engineers and technicians to support the growing pipeline of business.”

Headquartered in Uddingston, G M Civil Group was founded by Gordon Maxwell and Michael Carlin, who previously held senior management positions with W A Fairhurst’s, and also own G M Civil and Structural Consulting Engineers.

The company provides both civil and structural engineering services for residential, commercial and industrial developments.
