Glotman•Simpson's contribution to
the landscape of greater Vancouver is
nothing short of remarkable.
The company, which celebrates
its 50th anniversary this year, was

1984, Martin's son Geoff Glotman came

has since grown to a staff of over 70
engineers and technicians with an
impressive pool of knowledge and

Vancouver's–and B.C.'s–
most iconic projects, and
to help our clients achieve
their vision"
