About Us
It’s the quality of our people that makes us different.
We are a family-owned building and civil engineering company established in 1869.
If there’s one reason for our enduring success over the last 150 years it has to be our people.
They embody the commitment to technical excellence, client service and exemplary project delivery that make us the company we are.
Our people want to be the best, delivering the exceptional time and again. It’s an aspiration that unites us all and it’s the reason we’ve worked on some of Britain’s most iconic buildings and projects.
Along the way we’ve become part of Britain’s DNA, creating many of the buildings you pass by every day.
We’ve only been able to do this by continually adapting and evolving, looking to the future and using new technologies and techniques to deliver the best results for our clients.
We’re not just passionate about shaping towns and cities and landscapes. We’re also committed to making a positive impact on communities and environments, and leaving a lasting legacy for generations to come. That means working closely with our business partners, leading by example to drive progress and inspire industry-wide changes.
It also means creating and nurturing an inclusive environment which fosters a diversity of skills and talent as we look to push the boundaries yet further.
We believe our journey has only just started. Today and every day, proudly building Britain’s future heritage.
