Civil engineering & groundworks • Contract earthmoving Plant hire • Aggregate supplies • Road sweeper HIAB hire • Low loader hire a privately owned family run business , to being owned by a large private equity and that changed the dynamic substantially . It works for some , but it didn ’ t work for us . As a result , the board that was operating for Peterhouse did a management buyout in 2004 and bought Jackson Civil Engineering out of the Peterhouse
Group . We ’ re still privately owned by the board , but we also have a key shareholder called One Group Construction .”
Of the nine companies owned by One Group Construction , Jackson is responsible for around £ 120 million of the Group ’ s annual turnover of £ 180 million . Brian believes the company is so successful due to its versatility . “ We haven ’ t tried to pigeon-hole ourselves into one speciality because we want to provide a good service across all our industry sectors and not be excluded from working on others ,” he notes . Jackson offers a broad range of services , but only across civil engineering . Rather than being a limitation , focusing on civil engineering has enabled the company to work with many important clients . “ One of our biggest clients for the last 21 years is the Environment Agency . About 30- to-40 per cent of our turnover is Environment Agency flood and coastal defence work . That encompasses anything from smaller works on the Environment Agency ’ s assets to large flood storage reservoirs , embankments and flood and coastal defence works along the coast and upriver estuaries .”
Having worked on such sizeable projects in the past , the company has made a name for itself across the country . However , Brian highlights that this was all made possible thanks to its high calibre staff , supply partners and important company values . “ There is a massive shortage of people in the industry
