Meet the team
SGS Surfacing Ltd is a collection of vast experience from many different aspects of the construction industry with a sprinkling of business acumen, all rolled up in a successful and well run business.
Formed in 2014 by a super skilled ground worker and keen businessman we have added to our board of directors with some real talent for making plans a reality. Our unique approach to the business allows us to achieve high end results, using top quality skills and materials whilst maintaining a successful and viable business for the future. We really have gone from strength to strength and gained an excellent reputation in the local community and beyond. Servicing domestic and commercial customers with a vast number of services from driveways, patios and paving to resurfacing private roads and runaways.
Being a small team of close friends and family we really can ensure that customer satisfaction and high quality workmanship are at the forefront of every project. All of our team are capable, hardworking, and extremely polite as we understand that the upheaval of having work done can be stressful for all concerned.
Sam
Since leaving the corporate world in London in 2014, Sam has been on a mission to build an honest and reliable surfacing company that brings old school values and quality into the 21st century.
“Investing heavily in the business for the last 8 years has been an easy decision as the results and growth have been impressive. SGS Surfacing really has gone from strength to strength with a team and equipment set up that is second to none. This combined with a genuine desire to do things properly results in a quality product and sustainable business”.
Sam has been able to focus more on the clerical side of the business meaning that quotations are supplied quickly and organisation of resources is completed without the need to stop the guys on the ground. Sam continues to dedicate himself to the business and is always looking for new business and ways to make things run more efficiently.

Since joining the firm and taking over from Sam on the ground Lorne has really made his mark. Lorne has extensive knowledge of the Surfacing industry and has a real lead-from-the-front mentality which helped him integrate into the team well. Lorne has brought with him a level of attention to detail that is rare in today’s world and has made the increased investment a real no-brainer.
