From Local Challenger to
Industry Leader
In 2001, Managing Director Tim Jones founded Garland UK with a bold mission: to shake up the British roofing industry. Starting from our first modest office, we brought a different approach, one that combined technical precision with long-term client partnerships, not just transactional installations.
Our transition to employee ownership in 2007 wasn’t just a structural change, it was a commitment to making every person financially accountable for the buildings they protect. Combined with backing from The Garland Company’s 130 years of global innovation, we offer something unique: local expertise with the stability and resources of a $1B international leader.
Over 25 years, we’ve pioneered the Technical Manager model in the UK, developed systems specifically for British climate and regulations, and built a track record that speaks for itself: 92% client retention and thousands of roofs still performing decades after installation.
Our UK Journey
From our first UK project in 2001 to becoming the only 100% employee-owned
roofing company in Britain, our evolution reflects a commitment to continuous
improvement and client-focused innovation.
From Family-Owned to
Employee-Owned
Employee ownership isn’t just a different corporate structure, it fundamentally changes the relationship between our people and your projects. When Technical Managers, surveyors, and support teams own the company, their financial futures depend directly on client satisfaction and long-term building performance.
This structure eliminates the pressure to maximise short-term shareholder returns. Instead, every specification decision, site inspection, and aftercare response reflects the personal accountability of people who will financially benefit (or suffer) from your building’s performance over decades.
