Company Profile
John Gray and Son commenced trading in 1979 employing three men. Between 1997 and the end of the year 2000 a programme of expansion took place. This saw the business grow to its present size, employing six teams of men - approximately 25 employees - and moving into our new office.

Although the bulk of our work is carried out for the Public Sector, John Gray and Son still offer their services to the Private Sector.

In 1983 we were awarded the N.I.E. Pilot Scheme that saw John Gray and Son as the first contractor commissioned by N.I.E. to undertake external tree cutting services. This was the beginning of a close working relationship with N.I.E. and at the time of writing John Gray and Son are the only company in Northern Ireland authorised by N.I.E. to manage timber close to transmission lines up to 275,000 volts.
