Gatwick Group | Crane Hire | Heavy Haulage | Hiab Transport | Abnormal Loads

“We've built a relationship based on trust & experience with Gatwick Group, meaning that we are happy to hand every aspect of the installation or removal of our passenger boarding bridges over to them. Their expertise & initiative has been crucial to our success.”

Amador Dominguez, Project Mgr
“The whole of the T5C Gallows Installation project at Heathrow was a success. Many thanks for your help, guidance and professional service. We will most certainly use Gatwick Group again.”

Steve Harvey, Contract Manager
“It is a welcome change to work with a company who proactively offer solutions to challenges, rather than just seeing them as an obstacle to completing the work ahead.”

Steven Brown, Airports Manager
“Network Rail have a need to get Rail Lengths or S&C gear moved at very little or no notice at all , and I can be confident that you always find a way at short notice with your ‘can do-will do’ attitude.”

Nick Murphy, Plant Co-ordinator
“It is rare to see companies working to the modern H&S rules. As a site manager I am forever battling with companies who turn up ill equipped to carry out their works. It is a breath of fresh air to see such a professional attitude to a job and to see the correct equipment used for the task in hand. Keep up the good work.”

Chris Croxford, Site Manager
“You consistently deliver on our routine jobs, but I can also rely on you to come up with solutions to our more unusual requirements that present us with challenges, as well as stepping in at short notice to salvage jobs when we have experienced difficulties in the past.”

Sandra Grinnol, Hire Fleet Mgr
“I am writing to pass on my personal congratulations and thanks for a job well done by the team over the weekend. As expected everything was executed in a thoroughly professional, planned and safe way and it was a pleasure to behold. I look forward to an equally successful and on going relationship through to completion of this project and beyond.”

Welcome to the May newsletter

This month we've had to deal with a 'Shed Load' with a difference installing a work of art at Chelsea Bridge and we're also making good progress installing the first of the 26 Passenger Boarding Bridges at Heathrow T5C on behalf of Hyundai Rotem.

As usual please do get in contact if you have any feedback as to how we can improve our services to you, use our feedback form.

Shed Loads of Shacks for Chelsea Art College

We were asked to install a sculpture on behalf of MDM Props of South London, who were commissioned by the artist Richard Wilson to bring his 'Shack Stack' piece to life for an arts project called Chelsea Future Space.

The project is a collaboration between The Chelsea College of Art and Design, Futurecity Arts Consultancy, and the property developer, St James Urban Living, who are part of the Berkeley Group. The Grosvenor Waterside development at Chelsea Bridge has a central courtyard which provides a showcase exhibition space for the alumni and staff of Chelsea College of Art and Design, as well as creating a talking point for the residents.

Tim Meaker, Props Maker for MDM Props Said:

“We were really pleased with how Gatwick Group Installed the Shack Stack piece for us , they provided us with a safe, risk free lift in a public area, along with the reassurance that great care would be taken when handling our precious ‘one of a kind’ cargo”

First Passenger Boarding Bridges Installed at T5C

The first of the passenger boarding bridges have now been installed at Heathrow T5C on behalf of Hyundai Rotem with the support of ThyssenKrupp Airport Services for the electrical Installation.

12 Bridges in total are to be installed on this phase of works, so far 10 Bridges are complete and in-situ and 2 aircraft stands have now been handed back to BAA, with 2 more stands due to be handed back and fully functional by the end of next week , the remaining two bridges are to be installed in September to coincide with BAA's programme of work.

Eugene McQuaid, Project Manager for main contractor Carillion Direct Sourcing said:

“The Installation of the Fixed Links and the subsequent Passenger Boarding Bridges and associated electrical installations have been somewhat of a juggling act to coincide with BAA's projected stand closures, but with team work, communication, and everyone involved on the project pulling out the stops to get everything completed as safely and as quickly as possible I'm pleased to say that the works are currently right on target to hand back the stands to BAA as projected”
