They were originally a southern based civil engineering company, founded in 1918 and merged with a northern firm based in Liverpool formed in 1923. They are now the result of a merger in 1969 between these two successful and long established companies. In 1989, a large French group took a controlling stake in them and in 1991 acquired the final majority shareholding. Following a carefully constructed five year plan by the present management team, they became a PLC in 1998.
At this group, they realise that the success of the business depends upon the expertise, efficiency and dedication of those who work for them. Through a programme of targeted training and continuous personal development, they encourage employees to achieve their individual career goals and to take the opportunities presented by working for such a diverse group of companies to broaden their experience. This approach benefits the employee at the same time as providing the Company with an enthusiastic team of employees of the highest calibre.
As well as improving career prospects, they also believe that employees should enjoy working for them. To this end they actively encourage staff to organise social and sporting events which help to build relationships beyond the formal working environment.
