McGimpsey in Northern Ireland has reached the milestone of 40 years in business.

Initially founded by four brothers, Campbell, Stephen, Peter and Paul McGimpsey, the business was taken over in 2018 by husband-and-wife duo Melissa and Steven Gibbons, and now sustains 60 jobs locally having consistently increased its revenue in that time. In 2024, the business experienced revenue growth of 62%, which Managing Director, Melissa, credits to ongoing investment in technology and infrastructure.

“In recent years over £1.9 million has been reinvested in the business allowing us to expand from just one vehicle in 1985 to a specialised fleet of 25 with a local and international footprint,” she said. “In 2018, we also invested in creating a haulage distribution side of the business to acquire additional logistics contracts. We’re really proud of our journey, particularly of our reputation as a local employer.”

Earlier in 2025, McGimpsey announced a partnership with delivery and installation specialist, Bishopsgate. It’s expected that by pooling resources and expertise, the businesses can unlock further expansion opportunities for two-man specialised logistics services. Plans are already afoot to open a new depot in the south of Ireland to serve customers across medical, banking, fitness, retail, and tech sectors.
