Although the company has grown
rapidly insizeandscopehandlessingle
projects up to a value of $60 million,
it is still very much a family business,
with Mike’s son Brendan working as a
project manager, his daughter Rachel
as a marketing manager, and father
Vince also involved with the business
as warehouse manager.
Speaking about the growth of
the business, Mike Tomkins says,
“Originally we were residential / semi-
commercial builders. We did different
types of projects over the years until
about 18 years ago. At that time
we got out of residential and into
commercial. Ever since then we have
grown the business in the commercial
sector.
