Shropshire construction firm celebrates 15th anniversary

Fowler and Gilbert has grown since being founded in a small cabin in 2011.

A north Shropshire construction company is celebrating its 15th birthday.

Fowler and Gilbert in Market Drayton specialises in high-quality, steel-framed industrial, agricultural, equestrian and commercial buildings which are designed and built custom made and supplied nationwide.

It works in a broad range of fields including residential, commercial and industrial construction.

It was founded by managing director Lee Gilbert whose family comes from a farming background and started life in a small cabin in Middlewich from where Mr Gilbert grew the team.

After nine years, it was time for a bigger home so the firm fabricated a new 100,000 sq ft facility in Market Drayton.

The new offices were opened in late 2022.

Mr Gilbert said: "Reaching our 15-year anniversary is a proud moment for everyone involved with the company.

"What started as a small operation has grown into a trusted name in construction and that's down to the hard work of our team and the support of our clients.

"We've always focused on doing things the right way, delivering quality work and building lasting relationships and we're excited about what the future holds."
