Lesterose Scotland

We are the country’s most respected brickwork contractor

By 1996, London-based brickwork specialist Lesterose Builders had already spent more than 20 years growing a name that was synonymous with professionalism and quality. So, when the opportunity to work on Glasgow’s “new” SECC building with a long-standing client presented itself, the company’s founders Tony Stone and Dave Guildford did not hesitate sending an ambitious team northwards.

Undaunted by the prospect of undertaking a large contract in a new region, the project team exceeded all expectations and successfully delivered one of the largest blockwork packages ever assembled in Scotland at that time – setting a new benchmark for efficiency and quality in the process. The project was so successful, that the Lesterose Scotland Ltd business was incorporated that very same year.

Fresh from involvement in the SECC, the company immediately set their sights on the next challenge – Glasgow’s “new” Buchanan Galleries Shopping Centre. The project remains one of the country’s largest masonry retail developments with over 1.1million bricks laid. And even now, almost 30 years later, the building still stands as a shining example of the Lesterose’s time-honoured commitment to quality workmanship.

Today, the company is owned and operated by a hands-on board of directors headed by Managing Director Paul Braid (who presided over the initial step into the Scottish market in 1996). With a talented and dedicated team of project managers, engineers, surveyors, QHSE professionals, admin staff and skilled operatives, the company continues to successfully deliver trade packages on some of the country’s most high-profile projects.

With a tried and tested formula for success, Lesterose Scotland Ltd looks forward to what the next 20 years has in store.
