It is listed on the London Stock Exchange, and has public facing divisions, Gleeson Homes and Gleeson Strategic Land. HistoryThe business was founded by Michael Joseph Gleeson, the official date given by the company being 1903.[2] Having left his native Galway Michael Gleeson had been working for a small building firm in Sheffield, married the owner’s daughter and 1903 was the point when he effectively took control of the business. The name of the business was changed to M J Gleeson in 1915.[3] Michael Gleeson operated as a contractor and a developer in the Sheffield area, South Yorkshire – he owned cinemas and a racetrack. The firm began taking contracts South East England in 1930 and in 1932 Michael sent his nephew John Patrick `Jack` Gleeson to manage the embryonic housing developments.[3] Gleeson began with building an estate of some 750 houses in Cheam, followed by smaller estates in Ewell and Sutton, all at the time in Surrey.[4] During World War II for military use, Gleeson concentrated on the construction of aerodromes, giving it equally civil engineering capability that was to be its strength after the war in peacetime. Although the company again undertook housing and property development in 1955, the flotation of 1960 stressed civil engineering contracts which included power stations, sewage works and sea defences.[2] Like his uncle before him, Jack had no sons and he too brought in his nephew to succeed him, Dermot Gleeson had been working in the political arena and first joined the Board as a non executive director in 1973; he joined the company full time in 1979, became Deputy Managing Director in 1981 and Chief Executive in 1988.[5] The group had been extending its property holdings and it used the housing recession of 1990 to increase its commitment to private housing. The small quoted company, Colroy, was bought in 1991, followed by the residential business of the Portman Building Society in October 1994.[6] In 2005, the group made a £18m loss, primarily due to losses in the building division, which was then sold to the management. In March 2006, a strategic review was announced whereby the civil engineering business would also be sold (it was bought by the Black & Veatch); peripheral business would be disposed; the investment properties put up for sale; and the traditional speculative housing replaced by urban regeneration.[7] By the end of the year, the group was concentrating on urban regeneration, residential property management and land trading. However, substantial losses were again incurred in 2008 and 2009; costs were cut and the geographical focus was narrowed to the north of England.[8] OperationsThe company has three divisions:[9]
