Renfrewshire firm celebrates perfect ten years of business

pacificbuilding-10yearsScottish construction company Pacific Building is celebrating its birthday by giving away tranches of cash to ten worthy causes – the donations representing the number of years the firm has been in business.

The Renfrewshire company has also hosted a grand party for staff, clients and friends and taken ten long-serving employees away on an adventure trip to the Austrian Alps.

And as the company’s order book fills up thanks to new projects for big-name clients McDonald’s, Gleneagles Hotel, Tesco, Glasgow International Airport and Arnold Clark, among others, staff members are looking forward to another ten years in business.

Pacific managing director Brian Gallacher, who established the business in 2005, said: “Although it was always going to be an important moment for us, we didn’t want to just celebrate our 10th anniversary by lighting a few candles on a cake – we wanted to display a genuine and lasting gratitude for that success.



“So we decided to make donations of £500 to organisations or individuals who, we thought, were particularly deserving.”

As a result, cash gifts were made to deserving causes that are local to the business – ROAR for life, Reaching Across Mental Health, Funding Neuro, Renfrewshire Carers, St Vincent’s Hospice, Accord Hospice, Finding Your Feet, Quarriers, Kibble Works and a school pupil who is carrying out community development work in Peru.

Pacific, which employs 25 people at its headquarters in Hillington, near Glasgow, have a hard-won reputation as a fast fitout and construction company who can operate in a diverse array of sectors, from leisure to retail to international airports.

As an illustration of Pacific’s meteoric success, Brian highlighted the firm’s turnover, which grew from £775,000 in 2005 to £10 million last year and a projected £12,500,000 for 2015/2016.

He added: “This is all the more remarkable given that our growth has been achieved against the backdrop of a massive worldwide economic downturn sparked by the banking crisis in 2008.

“We’re proud to deliver high quality, and our business is built on the strength of our relationships with our clients – global and UK brands. Now we have forged different but equally valuable relationships with worthy organisations.”

Pacific hosted a grand party for more than 100 guests at Oran Mor in Glasgow to mark the occasion of their birthday.



This followed a high-octane, all-expenses-paid trip to Zell am See in Austria for the company’s 10 longest-serving employees during which they took part in a number of adrenaline-pumping activities.

Pacific are now working on a number of key projects for their client roster, including two new-build McDonald’s restaurants in Scotland, worth in excess of £3m, the fit-out of restaurants for supermarket giants Tesco and a makeover programme for motor dealers Arnold Clark.

Brian added: “Unlike the majority of building companies who focus on fit-out or construction, we are proud to provide fit-out and construction services – both to the highest standards.

“We work within a variety of sectors, such as commercial, leisure (encompassing hotels, licensed premises and restaurants) and retail – and we a have a wealth of experience of operating in sensitive and secure locations, including airports.

“We deliver to the highest professional benchmarks and at the same time demonstrate that our company is built on innovation, dedication and dependability.

“Our prestigious client base includes some of the UK’s biggest names as well as world-renowned companies, and our success is founded on the strength of our relationships with our clients, which frequently brings us repeat business.”
