18 months later due to increased demand and workload a second machine was bought, mainly again focussing on agricultural contracting.
From this the company got more involved in construction and civil engineering. The first significant contract M K Leslie acquired was in 1989 working as sub contractor to Hunter Construction Aberdeen Ltd on the A970 Cunningsburgh road improvements scheme, the success of this contract lead to further road improvement contracts throughout Shetland with major Companies such as Hunter Construction Ltd, R J Mcleod Contractors Ltd, and the Shetland Islands Council, plus contracts that M K Leslie won as main contractors.
In 1996 M K Leslie ltd started operating on the Scottish mainland with a base in Inverness.
