Group Overview

The Joseph Gallagher Group is a combination of specialist companies brought together by Group Chairman and founder – Joseph (Josie) Gallagher. Josie continues to play an instrumental role in ensuring the family core values and legacy upon which the company was built are upheld today and in years to come.

Whilst Joseph Gallagher Ltd was founded in 1982, the Group was created in the early 90s via the acquisition of a number of subsidiary companies, which allowed the business to offer a complete services package to its clients. From design services offered by a team of experienced engineers and designers operating out of our design studios in Leeds, to plant, crane and specialist tunnelling equipment hire and maintenance - we can offer an all encompassing service to our clients at great value.

Since 2010, the Group has operated with five subsidiary companies and employs in the region of 800 members of staff. We work across the UK and the Middle East, generating an annual turnover in excess of £100m and have proudly worked on some of the largest infrastructure projects in UK history.

Our subsidiary companies deliver specialist services and support the Group to deliver high quality projects and services to the construction, tunnelling and infrastructure sector. These include:

Specialist Plant Associates - one of the UK's leading tunnelling equipment hire and service suppliers.
NRC Plant Ltd - one of the industry's leading suppliers of crawler crane hire and sales for more than 70 years.
Iseki Microtunnelling - offering bespoke microtunnelling equipment for all ground conditions, which currently own in the region of 30 Iseki microtunnelling machines.
Johnston Trenchless Solutions - one of the UK's leading providers in specialist microtunnelling and directional drilling solutions.
