Leicestershire-based construction company Smallman and Son goes from strength to strength, with record order books reflecting a dynamic strategy, combined with sheer hard work that continues to buck uncertain economic trends.

Outstanding quality, total professionalism and a teamwork ethic, together with substantial investment in the company at a time when others were pulling in the reins, is paying off for this the long-established firm, which provides first-class building and shop-fitting services across the UK.

Smallman and Son specialises in the commercial, retail, leisure and public sectors, working with large and small organisations alike on new-build, fit-out and refurbishment projects.

Current projects range throughout the private and public sectors, including educational, health and justice contracts and include a four-year framework with a Government body.

Similarly, the firm works alongside a wide range of clients, from small, one-man outfits, to local authorities and government bodies, ensuring delivery of the right product for the job, often within a constricted schedule.

Portfolio

Smallman's commercial portfolio includes design and build, extension, refurbishment and maintenance contracts for offices, industrial units, shops and showrooms, pubs, restaurants and residential properties.

Experienced, skilled teams manage the whole project, from the sympathetic refurbishment of listed buildings using traditional materials, to the development and fit-out of ultra-modern retail spaces using the latest construction techniques.

Key to the Smallman ethos lies – as the company logo implies – in developing long-term relationships, with every client, no matter how big the budget, while maintaining a well-earned reputation for quality, flexibility and reliability, and developing and looking for quality tradesmen in all areas of the trade.

Smallman's team of professional builders and skilled craftsmen can undertake all or any aspect of a building contract, from initial design, to total project management.

The company also has its own in-house joinery, based at the Syston head office in St Peter's Street, for the manufacture of bespoke joinery and retail shop fittings and office furniture.

Three years ago the company took the bold move of rebranding and moving from Mountsorrel to larger, 10,000 sq ft premises in St Peters Street Syston and has never looked back.

The aim of the move was to underline Smallman's modern business culture, while retaining the family nature of a long-established Leicestershire business.

The on-site joinery workshop provides practical, bespoke solutions in fit-outs across the board of clients, enabling full control over the production process.

Ever since, order books have been overflowing, with the team of contractors working for prestigious clients in towns and cities across the UK.

Crucially, Smallman and Son has become integral to public sector works, taking on challenging and often sensitive projects with Government and Health Service clients.

Accreditations with CHAS and Safe Contractor, and membership of the Federation of Master Builders, help to set Smallman and Sons apart from the crowd, highlighting the company's tried and trusted reliability, providing both the highest quality and ultimate levels of safety.

Sales Manager Tim Revell says that having the right product for the market has been key to ongoing expansion.

"One of the chief strengths of our remit lies in our ability to carry out fast-track building refurbishment, renovation and repairs.

"In difficult economic times firms are often cautious about undertaking the commitment of a whole new building, so instead they improve and refurbish, both of which are aspects of the building trade we excel in.

We are committed to a fast and efficient service, committed to helping people improve their premises without having to spend too much and with minimal disruption, enabling business to continue as normal."
