COMPANY INFORMATION
Line
John Reilly Civil Engineering Ltd was established in 1986 by three brothers initially as a Civil Engineering and Groundworks Company which has developed into a sophisticated business that provides an array of quality products and services to Construction Companies and Construction Clients. 80% of John Reilly Civil Engineering Ltd is now owned by the employees under an Independent Employee Ownership Trust. The remaining 20% is owned by the Reilly family.
Initially, the principal area of operation was Hampshire and Dorset, ultimately expanded to include also the counties of Kent, East and West Sussex, Oxfordshire, Wiltshire, Berkshire and Surrey. In 1992 a further office in the North West was established, which currently envelops the entire North-West, to include North Wales and Yorkshire. The Company has and will carry out projects 'out of region'. Historically the Company has included in its client base most of the major house builders in the UK.
Although the Organisation has grown over the years in terms of complexity as well as output, the majority of its Staff and Principals of its workforce have remained with the Company for more than a decade. This varying experience instilled an unparalleled depth of knowledge, proficiency and flexibility into all of our longer-term incumbents.
We achieved a major step towards improving the quality of its products and services to Clients by incorporating UKAS accredited ISO Standards to both our Southern and Northern offices in December 2002 and 2013.

OWNERSHIP & MANAGEMENT
Line
80% of John Reilly Civil Engineering Ltd is owned by the employees under an Independent Employee Ownership Trust. The remaining 20% is owned by the Reilly family.
The Board of Directors will do the day to day running of the business and major decision making. All of our managers and supervisors are friendly and eager to serve, with virtually all of our upper and middle managers having a formal construction qualification. Our organisation is structured into teams of people, dedicated to the needs of the Company's Clients.
We try to promote a 'Culture of Partnership' in all Client relationships. Whilst we take the view that true partnership will always have a firmer basis in trust than in contract we remain aware of and understand the difficulties associated with the establishment and maintenance of this trust, especially at a commercial level.
Our staff are continuously encouraged to supplement and develop their skills and to propose and implement any new innovations identified. Staff training is given high priority and is organised in response either to the request of an individual member or an identification of an organisational need. Training is only effected when Management is convinced that the Company's products and services can be consequently improved or enhanced in some way. Seminars, which apply to our realm of activity, are attended as a means of acquiring useful information. CPD (Continued Professional Development) is promoted.
