MGF’s Livingston depot has been providing excavation and structural support across Scotland since opening its doors in January 2020.
Ideally located in the central belt, the Scotland depot is able to support the growing needs of the Northern UK construction industry by offering a national service with the support of MGF’s 13 other locations and over 40 years experience.
With over 30 years’ experience working in the construction industry, Commercial Manager, Alan Best has been focused specifically on the supply of trench and structural support equipment since 1996. Specialising in trench support and temporary work solutions, he joined MGF in March 2022 and heads up a growing team with considerable experience in the industry.
“I am delighted to be part of the evolving story here at MGF in Scotland. It’s an exciting time as we continue to add to our already strong and experienced team. We are committed to providing our existing
customers with a first-class service and providing market leading and innovative products. We have a local design team in Livingston which is backed by our extensive national engineering resources, who provide first class engineering solutions. We very much look forward to expanding our existing customer base in Scotland and remain firmly focussed on becoming the market leading provider of excavation and structural support equipment along with our range of lifting and safety products.”
Regional Manager, Cairns Gibson oversees Scotland and North East England and has been with MGF for more than 25 years. Cairns began his time with the company in the Durham depot before instrumentally establishing depots in Yorkshire and Bristol as well as working in Astley for a short time.
