Stornoway is now well established nationally delivering specialised projects across Tasmania, Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland.
2005

2008
Stornoway enters a period of office relocation with all divisions moving to new premises. Stornoway Group offices are moved from Raeburn in northern Tasmania to the new office location in Davey Street, Hobart providing a central location for company management. A Maintenance depot is set up in Devonport as the hub of all our activities in order to service the North West road maintenance contract win. Our Water division outgrows its current location and moves to bigger premises which allows for a larger workshop space to aid in construction of plants. With the closure of the Raeburn office, Stornoway Quarrying moves on site to the quarry providing greater efficiencies to the team there.
Tim Gardner takes over as the Director of Stornoway Group with the sad passing of company co-founder, Alan Gardner.
