Six Robertson Group employees, with a combined 180 years of service, joined founder Sir Bill Robertson and Lady Hilda Robertson in Elgin to celebrate their dedication to the family-owned construction, infrastructure and support services business.

Marking 40 years with Robertson is Mike Turner, managing director of Robertson Timber Engineering. Raised in Tomintoul, Mike began his career as an apprentice joiner in Elgin, earning awards at Moray College and winning the Scottish Joinery Competition. Over four decades, he has progressed from apprentice to managing director.

Also celebrating 40 years is David Thomson, joiner with Robertson Construction Northern. A highly skilled tradesman and respected mentor, David has worked across Moray, the Highlands and Islands, Lochaber and Aberdeenshire during his career.



Neil Cooper has spent 25 years building a successful career with Robertson Construction Northern after starting as David Thomson’s apprentice. Today, he is a respected and experienced joiner who has contributed to a wide range of projects while continuing to support the next generation of tradespeople by mentoring apprentices across the business.

Susan Wilson, interim lead director, Robertson Construction Eastern, is also celebrating 25 years with Robertson. Since joining as senior quantity surveyor on the Aberdeen Sick Kids project, she has established herself as a respected leader within the business.

Joiner Lenny Inglis marks 25 years with Robertson Construction Eastern. Known for his dependable nature, patience and willingness to help others, Lenny has built a reputation for delivering high-quality work while supporting colleagues and apprentices alike.

Completing the group of long service employees is Michael Walker, bricklayer with Robertson Construction Northern, who is celebrating 25 years with the business. During that time, he has contributed to housing developments, military projects, commercial buildings and industrial facilities.



Sir Bill Robertson, founder, Robertson Group, said: “It is a special occasion to come together and recognise six colleagues who have dedicated so many years to Robertson. Through their work, they have not only helped deliver projects and grow our business, but have also strengthened the culture, reputation and values that have made Robertson what it is today.

“Particularly rewarding is hearing how many have gone on to develop the next generation after benefiting from that same encouragement themselves. Their legacy can be seen in the people they have mentored, communities they have served and the high-quality projects they have delivered. On behalf of everyone at Robertson, thank you and congratulations to each one of you.”
