Gary Oates

Gary returned to the business in 2021 to take up the newly-created role of North East Operations Director.

Gary left GMI Construction just over five years ago to join specialist industrial contractor TSL Projects where he became project director.

He previously spent more than 16 years with GMI, starting as a site manager before progressing to contracts manager. Gary is an expert shed builder and has built some of the largest square-footage sheds in the UK, including what was Tesco’s biggest distribution and logistics centre in the country.

He returns to lead the North East growth strategy from a new Teesside office and has recently been installed as MD.
