Company History

GTA celebrate the golden milestone 50 years of continuous business.

Despite the industry specific challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, GTA Civils & Transport had two successful years.

GTA Civils is relaunched as GTA Civils & Transport to reflect the growth of the range of services offered.

Lawence Stringer joins GTA as director responsible for transport planning bringing with him a wealth of experience from East and West Sussex County Councils. GTA could now bid for larger frameworks due to the expansion of services offered.

GTA undertakes a technical audit of the main expressways in Abuja, Nigeria and provides a Transport Assessment for a proposed power station in Mauritius..

As GTA continuously expands, so does the wealth of services offered. By focusing on Flood Risk Assessments and Transport Assessments, GTA become more involved at the conceptual stage.

Gerald’s daughter Emma is appointed Managing Director.

GTA extends its services to include highway engineering dealing with all aspects of traffic, road design and maintenance.
