Carefoot

In 1929 Walter Carefoot started his own business having finished his apprenticeship with a local Preston builder. From those humble beginnings the Group now has a turnover in the region of £30 million per year due to continued strong leadership and a loyal workforce. Since its establishment Walter Carefoot & Sons have built a reputation in the industry for delivering high quality work whilst providing value for its Clients. We operate in the educational, health, commercial, leisure, ecclesiastical and residential markets in both the public and private sector and have, over the years, developed strong relationships with Clients bringing repeat business due to our ability to understand a project's needs, and by having the openness for sharing technical and commercial knowledge within the project team. This approach to collaborative working has meant that we have successfully been included on a number of frameworks with local authorities and other government led initiatives, with over 70% of the company's turnover being achieved through this type of procurement. We consider ourselves to be a company who are continually striving to be at the forefront of construction industry best practice and aim to deliver all our projects on time and within budget, often exceeding Clients expectations in doing so.
