The move support’s Gaysha’s expansion in the fit-out market as the London focused business continues to grow.

GS Contracts was founded in 1992 and employs 31 staff.

It has extensive experience across the leisure, hospitality and commercial sectors and is based in Colchester, Essex.

The business has its own manufacturing facility which produces bespoke joinery and metalwork supporting both fit out projects and stand-alone joinery projects.

Ian Elsey, Chief Executive Officer, Gaysha Limited said: “GS Contracts provides an excellent opportunity for Gaysha, as we look to expand our offering for our clients and gain greater control of our supply chain.

“When I first became involved with GS Contracts, I was blown away by the quality of work and craftsmanship they were delivering.

“Our clients want us to deliver more and to do so it is integral that we have a robust supply chain to support us.

“The acquisition of GS Contracts will allow us to tender for a wider range of projects across a multitude of industries and gives us the outlet for high quality joinery in-house.”

Gary Smith, Founder, GS Contracts said: “This is an exciting opportunity for GS Contracts to take the next step in the companies’ growth and development.

“The support offered by Gaysha and the synergies between both businesses will allow us to continue to exceed our clients expectations and give us a competitive advantage in the marketplace.”

GS Contracts will be governed by the Gaysha Limited Board but will operate as a separate trading entity within the group.
