By following the founding principles of family values and treating people with respect , loyalty will naturally follow
In collaboration with Telford College , Chasetown also offers work with apprenticeship courses in groundworks . The partnership has had a great impact inspiring the next generation of construction , accrediting Chasetown as Telford College ’ s Business Partner of the Year in 2023 .
Reflecting on the business ’ journey in light of its 50th anniversary , we asked Euan what factors he feels have contributed to the longevity and ongoing success of Chasetown : “ Calculated risks , family values , strong management , and an entrepreneurial customer-first approach to business . Strong relationships with our internal team , supply chain and clients , and building loyalty .”
Equipped with a robust business model , invaluable team and shining reputation , Chasetown is a company built for the future . With the end of 2024 quickly approaching , the team at Chasetown are looking forward to their Company Day , which is scheduled towards the end of November , to communicate and focus on the business ’ targets and vision for the next three years , and agree on a five-year capital plan . With a focus on continued sustained growth , Chasetown is keen to secure more projects for 2025 , as well as confirm planning permission for a new five-acre yard for improved fleet and equipment management that will incorporate a training facility .
Looking further ahead , Euan is optimistic for the future of Chasetown . He ’ s keen to solidify its position as the contractor of choice for all elements of
groundworks and civil work across the Midlands for residential and infrastructure projects . By reinvesting in the development of the team , equipment fleet and business processes , Chasetown is eyeing a 25 per cent increase in turnover within the next five years , operating out of one regional office with a united board of directors managing the company in its entirety .
Most importantly however , Chasetown is a ‘ people-oriented business ’. Noel ’ s values and personality will continue to inspire not merely Chasetown Civil Engineering but the Tara Group as a whole , and his spirit will live on as
the company proceeds to grow and succeed .
“ By following the founding principles of family values and treating people with respect , loyalty will naturally follow ,” Euan finishes . ■

As we celebrate our own anniversary this year , we look back on how our relationship with Chasetown Civil Engineering started . It began in the late seventies when our then Managing Director John Cureton took a chance on a gentleman called Noel Sweeney and opened an account for Chasetown to supply underground drainage . A simple unwritten agreement was agreed with a handshake between the two of them and flourished into the successful relationship we have today with Chasetown . Even though they are both no longer with us , their values are embedded in both companies .
Congratulations to everyone at Chasetown Civil Engineering and to your continued success .
