Twenty years ago, in 2004, Construction Linx was born with a clear vision: to deliver high-quality construction services with a firm focus on customer satisfaction and professionalism. As we celebrate this significant milestone, we take a moment to reflect on the journey that has brought us here, the challenges we’ve overcome, and the exciting future that lies ahead.
In this blog, we’ll share our story, honour the people who have been part of it, and celebrate the projects and partnerships that have shaped Construction Linx over the past two decades.
The Early Days: How It All Began
Construction Linx started with humble beginnings in 2004. Our CEO, Gareth Williams, founded the company from his home office, which he affectionately called “Linx Towers.” Gareth always had a clear vision for the business: to build a company focused on delivering excellence in every project, with a commitment to integrity, quality, and exceptional service.
From day one, Gareth’s focus was on managing the operations, building relationships, and ensuring that the company ran smoothly from a managerial perspective. While many construction businesses grow from hands-on trade experience, Gareth’s expertise in management and strategic oversight allowed Construction Linx to establish a strong foundation for growth.
In those early years, Construction Linx began to make a name for itself by taking on a variety of commercial projects. The company’s reputation for reliability, quality workmanship, and a customer-first approach quickly spread, and soon enough, our small business started to grow.
The Journey to Growth: From Home Office to Business Hub
As the demand for our services increased, so too did the need for professional office space. After several months of operating from Linx Towers, we made the move to a more formal office at Scope House on Weston Road in Crewe. This was a crucial step in our evolution, allowing us to expand our operations, hire additional staff, and manage larger projects more effectively.
Our time at Scope House was filled with key milestones – we secured contracts with larger clients, completed more complex builds, and began to establish ourselves as a key player in the local construction industry. Every project we took on was an opportunity to demonstrate our commitment to quality and to forge lasting relationships with clients and suppliers alike.
Recognition Along the Way
One of the highlights of our journey was receiving recognition for our work within the business community. In 2005, just a year after we launched, we were thrilled to win the Young Business Person of the Year award at the South Cheshire Chamber of Commerce Awards https://sccci.co.uk/. This recognition was a testament to the hard work and determination Gareth and the team had put into building the business.
In 2015, we were proud to win the Small Business of the Year award, which further cemented our reputation as a trusted and respected construction company in the region. By this time, Construction Linx was known not just for the quality of its work, but for its ability to manage projects efficiently, deliver on time, and work closely with clients to meet their specific needs.
Then, in 2019, we were honoured with the Excellence in Customer Service award – a recognition that truly reflects what we believe sets us apart. For us, it’s always been about more than just completing a job; it’s about building relationships, listening to our clients, and delivering a service that goes above and beyond expectations Construction Linx Ltd Win at the South Cheshire Chamber Awards 2019!
New Horizons: Our Move to Crewe Hall Enterprise Park
As the business continued to grow, we once again needed to expand our premises. In 2019, we moved to our current office at Unit 8, Crewe Hall Enterprise Park. This move was a key moment in our journey, symbolising our growth and providing us with the space we needed to manage more substantial and diverse projects.
Our new office has enabled us to operate more efficiently, host client meetings in a professional environment, and continue to build on the reputation we’ve established for delivering excellence in commercial construction. It has also given us the opportunity to focus on new areas of growth and expand our team to include specialists who help us deliver projects to the highest standards.
Project Spotlight: Reaseheath College, Nantwich
One of the most exciting projects we are currently working on is at Reaseheath College in Nantwich. This significant project involves the construction and development of key facilities on the college campus, designed to enhance the educational environment for both staff and students.
As a specialist land-based college, Reaseheath plays a crucial role in educating the next generation of professionals in agriculture, animal science, engineering, and more. We’re proud to be part of a project that will help support the college’s mission to provide world-class education in these important fields.
The Reaseheath College project is in its final stages, with completion due in the next few weeks. This has been an extensive and rewarding project, involving close collaboration with the college’s leadership team to ensure that the new facilities meet their exacting standards. Our team has worked hard to deliver a modern, functional space that will serve the college for years to come.
This project is a prime example of what Construction Linx does best: managing complex builds, working closely with clients to understand their needs, and delivering results that exceed expectations.
Our Values and Accreditations: The Cornerstones of Our Success
At Construction Linx, we attribute our success over the past 20 years to our unwavering commitment to three key principles: quality, integrity, and customer focus. These values have guided every decision we’ve made, from the projects we take on to the relationships we build with our clients, suppliers, and team members.
Our dedication to maintaining high standards is reflected in the accreditations we’ve achieved over the years. We are proud to be members of the Federation of Master Builders, one of the most respected organisations in the construction industry. In addition, we hold certifications from CHAS and SafeContractor, and we are accredited by ConstructionLine – all of which demonstrate our commitment to health and safety, quality, and professionalism.
These accreditations aren’t just badges on our website – they are a testament to the rigorous standards we uphold in every project. Whether we’re working on a small-scale refurbishment or a major commercial development, our clients can trust that we’ll deliver with the utmost care and attention to detail.
Looking to the Future: Innovation and Sustainability
As we celebrate our 20th anniversary, we’re also looking ahead to the future of Construction Linx. The construction industry is constantly evolving, with new technologies, materials, and methods shaping the way we work. At Construction Linx, we are committed to staying at the forefront of these changes, ensuring that we continue to offer our clients the best possible service in a modern and sustainable way.
Sustainability is becoming increasingly important in construction, and we are embracing this shift by incorporating eco-friendly practices into our projects wherever possible. Whether it’s through the use of sustainable materials, energy-efficient designs, or waste-reduction strategies, we are doing our part to ensure that our projects contribute to a greener future.
We also recognise the importance of innovation in maintaining our competitive edge. From using advanced project management software to exploring new construction techniques, we are always looking for ways to improve efficiency and deliver even better results for our clients.
A Heartfelt Thank You
As we look back on the past 20 years, we can’t help but feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude. We wouldn’t be where we are today without the support of our clients, our dedicated team, and the many partners and suppliers who have been with us on this journey.
To our clients – thank you for trusting us with your projects. Whether we’ve worked together on a single build or on multiple projects, your loyalty and confidence in our services mean the world to us.
