WHO WE ARE

Meet the Team at
LGS Highways

A Burgeoning Family Business Based in the Highlands

With Hard Work
Anything Is Possible

After nearly a quarter of a century in the specialist plant and construction industry Liam Simpson, our company owner and founder, took the plunge and opened his business – LGS Highways – in 2019.

At first it was just Liam, supported by his wife Louise, with a hired van, masses of determination and a firm belief that with hard work anything is possible.

Today Liam and Louise are major employers in Grantown on Spey in the Scottish Highlands, where our company admin team and workforce of around 40 permanent staff are based, along with two dozen vans and lorries, and a selection of plant and machinery. There are also around 20 sub-contractors on standby at any given time.

As the work keeps rolling in, so does our business grow – we’ve recently taken over a new yard in Airdrie, near Glasgow, to accommodate our expanding operations in Scotland.
