 The Skene Group has enjoyed steady growth since it was founded in 1968 by its current Chairman, Donald Skene.
Originally based at Whitehill Industrial Estate, Glenrothes,it became a limited company in the late 1970s with the launch of its civil engineering, road building operations and demolition activities then diversified into minerals in the 1980s, quarrying sand, gravel and hard rock deposits. The 1990s saw further expansion, this time into pre-cast and ready-mixed concrete products.
 Managing Director Neil Skene joined the business in 1984 and now oversees all its divisions providing sand and gravel quarrying; hard rock quarrying; concrete products and construction services. Neil’s sister Jill Mason is the company’s Financial Director, and their mum, Alison, is Company Secretary, having been closely involved since the start. Today, the Skene Group’s extensive fleet of vehicles can be seen on roads the length and breadth of the UK and its activities include everything from demolishing buildings to supplying concrete products for new build. Thanks to business partnerships in Kent and London, it’s even involved in the Olympics! The company will be supplying minerals to the Olympic site at the Thames Gateway, where the land and infrastructure is being regenerated in preparation for the Games in 2012.
