Group History

The Malcolm Group is a forward-thinking plc that maintains the personalised, hands-on approach of its family-owned background.

Donald Malcolm was just 14 when he inherited the family business in the 1940s. Its assets were a single truck and a horse and cart.

By 1960, when the firm was acquired by Grampian Holdings, Donald had built it up to a fleet of 37, plus seven items of plant. Constant development ahead of market trends has lifted the company to its current status as a respected player in the logistics and construction markets.

On 18th January 2002, Grampian Holdings plc was renamed The Malcolm Group plc and is fully listed on the UK Stock Exchange.

In May 2005, after 45 successful years in the "public" domain, the Group was once again acquired by the Malcolm family.
