Ridgeway

COMPANY PROFILE

Since Ridgeway was founded in 1969 we have always taken a proactive approach, seeing the potential benefits of innovative products and techniques from around the world, and developing and promoting them in the local construction, engineering and agricultural markets. Moving with the Times In 1969 Ridgeway Plant Company Ltd acquired its name from their first location at Ridgeway Street, beside the Lyric Theatre in Belfast. In 1972 the company transferred to Diamond Gardens in Finaghy, then in 1987 on to a prime purpose built site in Boucher Road, which at that time was the centre hub for transport links to all areas of the province. During this time the company also created depot locations in Chelmsford, UK and Dublin, Ireland. Improvements in the local transport infrastructure and a new developing Belfast offered Ridgeway the chance to relocate to superb drive through style premises on Airport Road West in 2004. These progressive moves represent the steady, sustainable growth that Ridgeway have shown for over 37 years ensuring that the best facilities, location and service are available for their customers. From Generation to Generation Maurice Kane, a cofounder of the business has made a significant contribution to the construction and engineering industry in Northern Ireland over the years.

Since 1994 the business seamlessly steps into the next generation as Maurices son, Stephen Kane brings new complimentary sales and marketing strengths to the business, learnt from working with large multiples in a UK based PLC.This unique teamwork of father son directorship combined with excellent dedicated and experienced staff are integral to the success of the business and to its sustained future.
