Leiths Group acquire Fyfe Glenrock

Scottish quarrying and construction materials group adds natural stone business to its portfolio

ABERDEEN-based Leiths (Scotland) Ltd, the largest family-owned independent quarrying and construction materials business in Scotland, have acquired the business of Fyfe Glenrock, an Aberdeenshire-based supplier and processor of high-quality natural stone products, for an undisclosed sum.

Fyfe Glenrock, the Scottish arm of stone wholesalers Pisani, who went into administration in June this year, have a history dating back to 1846, when the then John Fyfe Ltd established their business at the famous silver-granite quarries at Kemnay.

Today the business operates from a purpose-built facility in Oldmeldrum, where 19 staff cut, polish and engrave natural stone sourced from the UK and around the world, including Scandinavia, China, India, Portugal and Brazil.

The company has been involved in many prestigious contracts including the supply of walling and flooring to the Scottish Parliament Buildings at Holyrood, in Edinburgh.

More recently, Fyfe Glenrock supplied a Leiths contract with all the natural stone products used in the urban regeneration project at The Green in Aberdeen.

Commenting on the acquisition, Ian Leith, chairman of the Leiths Group, said: ‘The acquisition of Fyfe Glenrock adds another quality business to the Group’s portfolio.

‘I personally look forward to working with the team and developing a company that has deep roots in Aberdeenshire and that I have long admired.’
