……the most considerate, polite team I have ever met / worked with in all my years in construction.”
We deliver high quality, cost effective, safe, and environmentally efficient civil engineering and construction services across Northern England, Southern Scotland and beyond.
A family-owned business, dating back to the early 1970s, we started as a small independent groundworks firm. One of our first contracts was helping to complete the then new Manchester Airport development.
Over the years we have successfully and sustainably grown our business. Today, from our head office base in Longtown, near Carlisle, we employ a substantial multi-disciplined team of around 100 experienced, highly skilled, well trained and professional staff and operatives, supported by a large and diverse supply chain and extensive fleet of plant and machinery. Our annual turnover is around £20m
We have a demonstrable capacity and capability to successfully manage and deliver a large and diverse range of construction and civil engineering projects with contract values up to around £15m. We operate both as a sub-contractor and main contractor.
Our ongoing success is underpinned by our enduring and demonstrable commitment to collaborative working and successfully developing and maintaining constructive long-term relationships and partnerships.
We operate within a framework of UKAS accredited ISO 9001; 14001 and 45001 Management Systems. Our other accreditations include Cyber Essentials; Constructionline Gold; CHAS Advanced; Acclaim and Avetta.
