Since 1976, Gilbert-Ash Fitout has grown from under the shadow of Gilbert-Ash NI Ltd. and the small works and conservatories we were once known for.

 

Working together with our bigger and better-known partner company when the opportunity arises, we have become Northern Ireland’s leading specialist Fit-Out, Refurbishment and Maintenance contractor.

 

A successful standalone company in our own right, we continue to grow as a result of the high standard of finished work and repeat business. It is also down to the dedication of the team who make it happen throughout Ireland and the United Kingdom.

 

While some fit-out companies rely heavily on agency subcontractors, Gilbert-Ash Fitout has built up a loyal, versatile team of highly-skilled tradesmen and craftsmen who have between them amassed nearly 300 years of experience. Experience that has helped establish a considerable reputation.

 

Reputation is built on many things. But with nearly a third of this tight-knit team working with Gilbert-Ash Fitout for more than 20 years, our reputation is our people and our ability to deliver.

 

And while we always seek to employ fresh talent, the ethos of the company has always been to develop and promote from within. The simple truth is that anyone can do what we do, but after 30 years we believe that we do it better because of our people, their commitment to us and as a result, our commitment to you.

 

Using natural talent and skills developed through apprenticeship and further education, this approach enables joiners to become specialist tradesmen and technicians, capable of working within the confines of a 19th Century listed building one day, and the BBC the next, installing soundproof acoustic linings.

 

In delivering all of our clients’ projects to the highest professional standard, success always comes down to three common denominators – attitude, skills and loyalty.

 

In a world where loyalty seems to be of increasingly little value, at Gilbert-Ash Fitout it counts for much. An attribute that cannot be engineered, it’s a characteristic that our clients have come to welcome as a considerable added benefit to the many we already provide.

 

Today, some may find this particular phenomenon surprising. But there’s an important link between loyalty, relationship and success. Because you are working with the same skilled people – from the general manager to the works foreman and the tradesman – consistency ensures that we know how you work.

 

There is also another important reason for our success. The company is led by a strong professionally run management team headed by Andrew Whitten, all of whom have a genuine and vested interest in seeing Gilbert-Ash Fitout succeed.
