Who We Are
GSH Is…
At GSH Group, our motto is Always On™ because we pride ourselves in being there for our clients and their facilities each and every minute of the day. As your facilities management and mechanical maintenance provider, our unique combination of corporate values, management dedication, and subject matter expertise will insure the delivery of premier services.

Our History
GSH has evolved over the last 129 years to serve the private and public sectors and has a worldwide reputation as a leading facilities management company with strong organic growth. As a privately-owned company, our first and foremost goal is to satisfy our clients’ needs completely. We firmly believe in providing our clients with custom-tailored and dedicated services instead of a “one-size-fits-all” approach.
1910s – 1920s
As the industry flourished, the business diversified into installing and maintaining industrial equipment.
1930s – 1950s
GSH expanded its customer base and is contracted to the Air Ministry and War Office, providing engineering support to British and Allied forces. In 1943, George Scarr-Hall Sr. passed, and his son George Scarr-Hall became a Director along with brother-in-law Joseph Henshall.
1960s – 1970s
1962 marked the introduction of the first fleet of vehicles and the company’s first £1 million contract. Expansion sees branches throughout the United Kingdom and onto mainland Europe. GSH also began global operations with major contracts in Dubai throughout the 70s and 80s.
1980s – 1990s
With the passing of George Scarr-Hall in 1987, his son Ian Scarr-Hall takes over leadership. Strategic growth continues with the establishment of North American operations and new headquarters in Parsippany, NJ.
2000s – 2010s
In 2002, GSH’s Energy Engineering Division was established delivering Integrated Facilities Management and Energy Solutions throughout Europe and the Americas. In 2009, Rachael Scarr-Hall, daughter of Ian Scarr-Hall joins GSH as the fourth generation of Scarr-Hall family leadership.
2010 – 2015
In 2012, GSH Group expanded onto the Asian continent, first opening its office in Chennai and later expanding throughout the country of India.
2015 – Present
At the same time GSH was establishing itself in India, it was also expanding in America and Europe adding offices throughout California, Illinois, Texas, the Eastern seaboard, and France.
GSH’s Green Initiatives
GSH’s Energy Engineering Division excels in putting forth groundbreaking projects in energy management and waste-to-fuel initiatives. Believing strongly in the conservation of energy and the development of supplemental and alternative fuel sources, each year GSH hosts its own, annual Energy Engineering Forum. This event brings together GSH subject matter experts, client-stakeholders, scientists, researchers, and leading academics to discuss and network on critical environmental, energy and sustainability initiatives. Aggressively, seeking to do our part GSH has committed to being Carbon Neutral by 2023 and Carbon Negative by 2025. Learn More.

Amhuinnsuidhe Castle
A key asset of GSH Group that embodies our history, heritage and commitment to the environment is Amhuinnsuidhe Castle. Located on the Isle of Harris, Scotland, the 19th-century bucolic country estate was built in 1865 by architect David Bryce. For the construction of the castle, Bryce designed it in the Scottish Baronial-style for the 7th Earl of Dunmore, Charles Murray. The castle was originally named ‘Fincastle’ and has since welcomed countless guests over the years to enjoy its remote setting, as well as its world class fishing and hunting.
In recent times, the Castle serves the dual purpose as an environmental center of excellence for GSH Group to trial and implement environmental and sustainability best practices. Utilizing the Castle as a center of excellence elevates the operational value of the facility while providing GSH Group with invaluable research and data to leverage in our process improvement to our clients’ facilities. As a company that believes firmly in corporate social responsibility, reducing the carbon footprint, and leaving the planet better than we found it, Amhuinnsuidhe Castle is a daily embodiment of our collective efforts and spirit in conservationism.
