Wall of Fame
Upon the conclusion of their construction career, GBI recognizes its retirees with a celebration of their time with the company. It is not uncommon for a long-term journeyman, foreman, or superintendent to receive a trip to Hawaii or to be gifted his truck as a token of the company’s appreciation for their efforts.
For those retired employees exhibiting truly extraordinary contributions, through a combination of length of continuous service, excellence in their field or craft, and dedication and commitment to the success of the company, GBI has established a Wall of Fame in their honor. GBI is pleased to announce the following employees who will always be remembered for their outstanding service to the company.
