About from company website

Founded in 1971 by Peter Hobson, Hobson & Porter has grown from small building projects to become a significant local contractor and employer. Initially collaborating with Bernard Porter on joinery and brickwork, Peter Hobson eventually became the sole shareholder. The company was incorporated in 1979 and has since expanded its operations, moving to larger premises and taking on more substantial works for local authorities and other public sector clients.

Over the years, Hobson & Porter has evolved into a management contractor, developing a robust supply chain to handle complex projects. The company has seen significant growth, with a turnover exceeding £35 million in recent years. They focus on a diverse range of construction projects for clients across various sectors, priding themselves on a reputation for reliably delivering quality work and maintaining core values of Quality, Honesty, and Service.

A large proportion of their business comes from repeat clients, highlighting their strong client relationships and consistent performance. The company's expertise spans new builds, refurbishments, and extensions, with a commitment to traditional construction methods where appropriate, such as brick and blockwork, to create a traditional environment. They have a strong track record in sectors including healthcare, education, residential, and commercial developments, often working closely with clients to accommodate project changes while maintaining delivery timelines.

Their approach emphasizes a high standard of build quality and fit-out, ensuring client satisfaction.
