Based in South Wales this civil engineering and surfacing contractor has traded for over 15 years. It carries out groundworks, tarmac and surfacing, roads and highways work and utilities installation for local authorities, national housebuilders, housing associations, main contractors and private clients.
Commercial clients make up around 95% of turnover. Several local authorities give the company repeat work on two and three year terms, and it has held a tarmac patching contract with one client for over eight years. Around £1.4 million to £1.5 million of council and housing work is contracted or in progress for the next six to 12 months.
The company owns its plant fleet, so it does not rely on hire firms, and its operatives hold the site cards councils and contractors require. It buys tarmac through around 25 supplier accounts, with no reliance on any one supplier. Managers are in place who run the business day to day without the owner.

A new owner could take the business further along the M4 corridor, approach more councils and housing providers, and grow the private and self-build side. It would suit a civils, highways or groundworks contractor wanting a base in South Wales, or an investor looking for an established business with management in place.
