Gill Riley, OBE, Managing Director of GGR Group has enjoyed a notably successful career in the construction plant hire industry. Her success has been built around an eye for innovation and the successful introduction of a range of specialist lifting equipment into the UK construction sector.

Adopting a strategic approach of sourcing equipment from overseas and working with manufacturers to make these products suitable for the demands of the UK market, Gill has also been directly involved in liaising with trade bodies to support these innovations with training and improved industry standards. This has seen Gill recognised with an OBE for services to construction in 2015 and the Queens Awards for Enterprise: International Trade in 2016.
