Rob Gilligan

Rob began his restoration career in 1977 with A.N. Shaw Restoration. The subsequent years working for Caligo and The Restorers Group Inc. provided the opportunity to gain further experience with sales, estimating and project management.

In 2009, Rob engaged in the challenge of building a health and safety management system for The Restorers Group Inc. To date, Rob continues to build and maintain the program. Rob's active membership in the Employer's Advocacy Council Safety Group, strengthens the company's ability to manage health and safety challenges.

In recent months Rob has interacted with IHSA and Act First Safety to produce an internal program to address and implement the requirements of regulation 242/16 when utilizing Suspended Work Platform Systems to provide building restoration services.
