25.01.2022 Sooner or later, everything old is new again. We are so excited to share our latest restoration project with you! We will be turning back the clock 177 years at 121 Cimitiere Street, the beautiful heritage building will be restored to its former Johnstone and Wilmot warehouse glory days. Who were Johnstone and Wilmot? ... William Johnstone and his wife left London and arrived in Tasmania in 1842 where he founded a small business as an importer and wholesaler with Stuart Early Wilmot. The building will keep its heritage value of course. Stay tuned for snippets of history and construction updates...

12.01.2022 Update on the Tasmanian Eye Institute fundraising campaign #3B4B (bleach, blue and bald for blindness). As you can see, Professor Brendan Vote has now completed all three phases! He has raised in excess of $60,000 which will go towards building the new Gene Therapy Centre.

There is still time to donate via the link below .

12.01.2022 Project update: Gene Therapy Centre. As promised, here is some more information on a project that will get off the ground this month. We are working with the Tasmanian Eye Institute to give new life to an old redundant water reservoir in Lenah Valley. Currently, the leading cause of blindness in the community is inherited eye disease. The new Gene Therapy Centre will move into the reservoir once construction has finished, in hope of finding a treatment or cure for inherited eye disease, this will be the first facility in Australia that will be solely dedicated to gene-based therapies.

06.01.2022 Let's talk about Women in Construction - something that we are passionate about at GLB. One of our own, the awesome Rheanna took a few minutes to have a chat with us. A little bit about 'Raz' Rheanna started her carpentry apprenticeship in 2006, and is currently completing her certificate IV in Building & Construction. Rheanna plays a crucial role in the GLB as the Fore-WOMAN of the $2.5 mil Medical Research Facility in Hobart - the Gene Therapy Project. ... In her spare time, she loves Hunting/ fishing anything outdoors. Q: What do you find rewarding about your job? A: "Watching a job progress, and the end result. I enjoy all aspects of the Job."- R Q: What advice would you give to young women thinking of a career in construction? A: "It is an extremely rewarding job but It isn’t for the faint-hearted you need to be resilient in the Building industry and apply yourself more to stand out from the crowd." - R Thanks Raz for keeping us all in line and all of your hard work.
