Glasgow-based GAP offers construction tools, lifting equipment and plant, such as mechanical diggers, for hire from 146 depots. It also stocks non-mechanical plant, and in February invested £2m in a tanker hire division. The firm is run by Douglas and Iain Anderson, 65 and 61 respectively, sons of founder Gordon. With 23% of its workforce on furlough, it has continued to operate during the pandemic, and distributed more than 15,000 visors given by the Contractors Appeal campaign to NHS staff.
