1987 With the right facilities available Wm. Munro Construction (Highland) Limited were granted a full unconditional asbestos removal license by the Health and Safety Executive which we have held continuously to date.
1989 The company opened its long distance haulage division as it continued to expand the level of services provided to our clients.
1995 Another new development saw the company open a Skip Hire and Waste Collection division and the following year we secured and were awarded the waste management contract with the Ministry of Defence for RAF Kinloss and RAF Lossiemouth. This ongoing contract has now been with Munros for more than fifteen years.
1997 Whilst we were starting to forge a reputation and track record as a waste management specialist, the company continued to win significant construction works, including the £1.5m ground and site works contract for the new Inverness Retail Park.
1998 Munro Construction secured its first full waste transfer license and opened the Highland Deephaven Waste Transfer Station Facility at Evanton. In construction we secured the Barmac Oil Fabrication Yard’s site works and maintenance contract over two year term.
