A Tradition of Expertise and Teamwork
GS Construction's journey began under the humble leadership of Glen Sandwith, whose dedication to quality, and teamwork, laid the foundation for the company's enduring success. Today, GS Construction continues to thrive under the leadership of Terran Sandwith, who has inherited the commitment to excellence and innovation.
"As we celebrate 50 years of GS Construction, we honour the culture, standards, and traditions that were established by Glen and that we continue to uphold. I am extremely proud of our history and growth up to today and am very excited to see what the future holds."
A Word from their Leaders
Terran Sandwith, the current CEO, reflects on this milestone: "As we celebrate 50 years of GS Construction, we honour the culture, standards, and traditions that were established by Glen and that we continue to uphold. I am extremely proud of our history and growth up to today and am very excited to see what the future holds."
Mike Durdle, the newly appointed President of GS, is looking to the future. "Our number one challenge and our number one competitive advantage has always been people and culture. I believe that it will become even more critical to our future success, and my focus is and always will be on our people and culture."
Glen Sandwith, who led the company through its first 30 years, adds: "As I look back over the last 50 years I am overwhelmed with pride for what GS Construction has become. From such humble beginnings and without a university degree, all I wanted to do was provide for my family. I started GS with $1500.00 with the goal to be known as an honest, reputable contractor, which I believe I succeeded in and for which GS is still known for today."
Looking to the Future
With a solid foundation and a clear vision for the future, GS Construction is poised for continued growth and innovation. Their commitment to their employees, their communities, and the environment remains unwavering as they look forward to shaping the next 50 years of infrastructure development.
