Who we are

About us

We are one of the UK's most successful family-owned construction and development groups

We are very much a family company with family values at our heart and we are proud of the legacy we have built over the past 100 years in business, but our focus is always on the future, improving communities, enabling regeneration, providing better education facilities and creating opportunities for people, to ensure that this business will be around for the next 100 and beyond.

Client satisfaction

Providing clients with the highest levels of satisfaction

We focus on providing our clients with the highest levels of satisfaction both during the construction period, upon completion and afterwards. We strive to develop long standing relationships as we have with many of our current clients, some of which go back decades.

With 100 years’ experience in the construction industry, our market leading financial surety and remaining family owned and family run, we are in a unique position within the marketplace to provide our clients with the ultimate service when they need it.

Our history

We are proud of our past but always looking to the future

Founded by a bricklayer and a joiner in 1923, we have grown to be one of the most successful construction companies in the UK. Our rich history, spanning more than a century is testament to the hard work and dedication of the people who work within the business.

Our people

Our people are the key to our success

We know that we’re only as good as our last job and, with three quarters of our clients working with us again and again, this speaks volumes for the standard of our work, and those standards are dependent on the people who work on those jobs – our people.
