ABOUT
The company origins actually go back to the 1930’s, but Grimshaws was incorporated as a limited company in 1947 and has earned a formidable reputation for quality within construction services.
​
Still in the same family ownership (2nd and 3rd generation), we pride ourselves in treating every project individually, underpinned by a highly skilled workforce. Based on our extensive experience we offer services from project design through to project completion.
​
Our three construction divisions offer excellent bespoke solutions.
