JOURNEY FROM PUNJAB TO THE UK
Jag Gill was born in India and migrated to the UK in 1967 at the age of seven with his parents and two older brothers from Punjab. Leaving his birthplace was an emotional upheaval, but the opportunities in the new land were compelling. The family settled in Wolverhampton, where they studied and worked, and Jag Gill developed a deep connection to the town that shaped his future.
INTERNATIONAL SURFACING EXPERIENCE: THE INTERLAGOS F1 TRACK PROJECT
In 2000, Jag Gill’s surfacing experience took him to São Paulo, Brazil, where he worked on the resurfacing of the world-famous Interlagos Formula One circuit.
​
The project included technically demanding work around the track’s famous ‘S’ bend, using specialist paving methods to achieve the required finish. Working in challenging site conditions, Jag contributed his practical knowledge to a high-profile international motorsport project.
​
This remains a proud part of Gillt Construction’s history and reflects the same values the business brings to every project today: technical expertise, problem-solving, attention to detail and pride in long-lasting surfacing work.
