GMC Public Realm

We create safe, flexible and dynamic public spaces.

We are right at the heart of a vital place-shaping agenda that brings together local authorities, local communities, central government, and the private sector. Our projects are geared towards community needs, economic growth, and sustainability.

Working in partnership with communities

Working with Local Authorities, we enhance and maintain the structures that underpin everyday life, developing outstanding public spaces that allow communities to grow and prosper.

We specialise in motorway maintenance, street lighting, and public realm services.
