Approximately 50 years ago, Ralph Colin Milton founded the company and then in 1971 he was joined by his brother-in-law, the late Harold Gregory forming a limited company.

The majority of the works undertaken were for the local authority and the PSA. Following the death of Harold Gregory in 1993, Ralph Colin Milton chose to retire and hand the reigns over to Anne Back, Peter Cole and Paul Richards who carried on in the same format for a few years more.

In recent years the company has expanded into the commercial and private sectors, particularly specialising in extensions and the refurbishment of properties together with existing Ministry of Defence works.

During 2002, Paul Richards left the company to set up his own management facility in the Torbay area and more recently Peter Cole chose to purchase properties in France with a mind to renovation, leaving Anne Back as the sole Managing Director.

We Carry our own long established tradesmen in the form of bricklayers, carpenters, plasterers, plumbers, painters and labourers. We also carry our own Health and Safety Officer to maintain safe working practices.

During the last 2 years we have been fortunate enough to build a substantial extension for Puffins (children's day care) and to refurbish a large kitchen (catering for 400 persons) plus refurbishing the Vice Chancellor's suite, both at Exeter University.

Our objectives for the future are to maintain a moderate increase in the size of the company and to increase our existing client base.
