About us

We are a specialist civil engineering and highways contractor serving local and transport authorities throughout the North West of England. Our aim is to deliver sustainable projects within the North West, enhancing infrastructure and accessibility of communities, whilst minimising environmental impact and reinvesting locally.

With over 75 years of experience working on North West highway projects, we have gained a distinguished reputation for delivering hugely successful schemes. Our multi award-winning collaborative and proactive methods guarantee the best level of service for our clients.

The business provides a wide range of civil engineering and highway construction services, utilising its highly skilled internal workforce and a network of subcontractors. Its area of expertise lies in executing intricate and challenging projects, including but not limited to drainage schemes, intersection enhancements, and public infrastructure development.

Our Social and Environmental responsibility track record is exceptionally strong, surpassing our competitors on Quality Bids and Social Value Matrices. Our Clear Management controls and structure ensure efficiency, and as partners of Framework contracts, we have a sizable forward order book extending over four years.
