About from company website

Hewitson Group is a groundworks-led business delivering integrated construction, plant hire, haulage and residential development services across the UK. With a forecast turnover in excess of £75 million and a workforce of over 300 people, the Group combines the scale of a major contractor with the reliability and accountability of a family-built business. Operating throughout the North East for construction and nationwide for plant hire, the approach is straightforward: if a commitment is made, it is delivered.

The ability to self-deliver key packages using their own plant, people, and haulage ensures projects are completed safely, efficiently, and strictly on programme. Founded in 1991 with a single JCB, the Group has evolved significantly. The early 2000s saw expansion into haulage and the establishment of Hewitson Civils.

Around 2015-2016, specialist residential development brands Albrough Homes and Appleton Homes were established, followed by Oaktree Living for affordable housing around 2020. The Group remains founder-led, with the next generation actively running key divisions.
