📍 Project Spotlight: Pluscarden Abbey

In 2023, our team carried out site clearance and levelling works at Pluscarden Abbey, preparing the ground for a new women’s retreat centre.

Working alongside Robertson Northern, we carefully prepared the site to provide a solid foundation for the next stage of the project—all against a fairly spectacular Moray backdrop.

SHE DID IT! 🏅🏃‍♀️🎉

26.2 miles. Her first marathon. One huge bucket-list goal officially ticked off!
And we couldn’t be prouder 🙌🏻

A massive congratulations to our GDC Director, Leoni, who completed the Loch Ness Marathon yesterday.

And Loch Ness is certainly no gentle jog around the loch - it’s a demanding course with plenty of hills thrown in for good measure!

Alongside her role at GDC and life as a mum of two, Leoni has dedicated months to training for this moment. Reaching that finish line took an incredible amount of commitment, discipline and determination.

What an incredible achievement. What a woman. And what a thoroughly well-earned medal! 👏

Everyone at GDC is super proud of you, Leoni - MARATHONER! 🥳🏅

👋 MEET THE PEOPLE OF GDC

First up, our Managing Director, George Duncan.

For George, groundworks isn’t simply a profession - it’s a family legacy spanning three generations.

🚜 In the 1960s, George’s grandfather was one of the first farmers in the North East to own a JCB, carrying out drainage works around Fochabers and Glenlivet.

🏗️ In 1977, his father, the late Joe Duncan, formed GA Duncan & Sons and went on to deliver major water projects across the region.

George joined the family business, became a Director in 2009 and took over its management in 2011 - continuing the Duncan legacy through what is now GDC Groundworks.

His approach remains at the heart of everything we do:

High-quality work, delivered on time and to high safety standards.

Away from the hard hat, George is a lifelong skier, hill runner and keen cyclist who has completed the Moray Marathon and several triathlons. He’s also a devoted dad to two sons who already share his enthusiasm for diggers and keeping active.

Three generations. One family business. And a Managing Director who’s never afraid of a bit of graft. 💪

Keep following as we introduce more of the people behind GDC.

Why are more homeowners choosing resin? 👇

It offers a clean, seamless finish that works beautifully with both traditional and modern properties — as demonstrated perfectly by this recently completed project.

Resin-bound surfacing is:

▪️ Smooth and hard-wearing
▪️ Low maintenance, with no loose gravel to rake
▪️ Permeable when installed over a suitable base
▪️ Available in a range of colours and stone blends
▪️ Ideal for pathways, patios and driveways

A practical surface without compromising on appearance. Our Small Works team can manage everything from the groundwork and preparation through to the finished surface.
