Company:

• They have been established for just under 30 years and amassed a turnover of circa £65m, and over that time have organically grown in a methodical and calculated manor. Work is not only sourced via competitive tender against other contractors; they secure a large percentage of their work from recommendations and referrals from professional teams but also from end users who are impressed with their services.
• Their projects range in complexity from challenging structural alterations, cut and carve, ground works and basement excavation, façade retention, demolition and rebuild through to high end internal finishes. They are also very experienced in refurbishing properties with a listing and understand the intricacies and attention to detail needed. They have several long-term members of staff in the company, who have started with the company at a junior level and progress up the ranks into their current capacity. They rarely make external appoints past an intermediate level, preferring to promote from within.
• Engaging and visible directors who care about their colleagues and invest in their development. Staff have regular appraisals with plans to aid career progression leading to a very high staff retention rate. Several success stories of people who have moved up the ranks into senior and divisional lead positions. Brilliant reputation for quality of work, honest and personable approach.
• In what has been a ‘up and down’ construction industry in the last couple of years, they have been able to steadily grow, secure profitable work and have a strong order book going into 2027.
