Our History
The history of Marco reflects a legacy of innovation and resilience, adapting to industry changes while consistently delivering quality projects for over five decades.
Founded by Tom Hickman, Marco emerged from the vision of a leader committed to excellence. Tom’s early career with the Foundation Company of Canada and his tenure at Lundrigan’s paved the way for his pivotal role as President of Newfoundland Engineering and Construction Company (NECCO). In 1979, driven by a passion for building and a deep-rooted commitment to the community, Tom led the senior management and staff of NECCO in the formation of Marco. Under Tom’s guidance, Marco quickly established itself as a trusted name in construction, delivering some of the most iconic structures in Newfoundland and Labrador.
His legacy of integrity and craftsmanship shaped the company’s core values, which continue to guide us today. Tom remained a guiding force, offering his insights and expertise until his passing in December 2015.
