Changes are afoot at Cartmore Building Supply Co Ltd

Cartmore was set up in 1986 by Gordon Banks and Bob Purvis and in the intervening years we’ve grown in good times from 1 branch to 2, introduced award winning landscaping displays to our branches, invested in our HGV fleet, set up the first Fibo concrete, mortar and screed plant in Scotland, established a bagging, washing and blending plant for roughcast chips and garden aggregates, moved to new Lochgelly and Denny premises in recent years and marched our way through difficult periods like everyone is experiencing at the present.

However, time stands still for no-one, and we have to announce that John Wardrope who has been a Director of the company since 2006 and indeed was the first employee that Gordon engaged in 1987, has decided to retire to spend more time with his family. We wish him well for the future and thank him for his significant efforts over what is approaching 40 years.

We are all sad to see John go, but change happens and should be embraced as an opportunity to move forward positively.

With this in mind we have introduced some restructuring to the business and these changes are outlined below.

1. John Wardrope will retire from his role as Director on 31/12/26.

2. John Fairley who is currently a Director of the company will transfer from Denny to Lochgelly to take up John’s role.

3. Gary King has been appointed Sales Manager and his current role as Landscaping Administrator will be incorporated into this position.

4. Aidan McFarland will assume the position of Branch Manager at Denny.

5. A new member of staff will be recruited as a Sales Assistant to operate from Denny.

6. Gordon Banks will continue in his current role as Managing Director of Cartmore.

So, change – what change?

It’s business as normal, and customers and suppliers will be introduced to personnel in their new roles as we move forward, but we are extremely proud that this restructuring has largely been accommodated in-house.

Our commitment to be the best is undiminished and we look forward to developing our relationship with you even further in the years ahead.
