"When we look to the future, we must not forget where we have come from. We must recognise out achievements and milestones to see how far we have come and where we are on our journey. Standing still is never an option."

Tony Hyde, Group Managing Director

History

History

Today's Thomas Vale is much more than just a contractor. Our work spans beyond the bricks and mortar of a building or the planning and design of a road. We recognise that our services, across the Thomas Vale Group, have wide reaching benefits to the users and communities in which we work.

One hundred and thirty seven years ago Thomas Vale, a young victorian engineer (pictured here on the right with his wife Amelia), designed and built the unique cast iron bridge spanning the River Severn at Stourport in the English county of Worcestershire.

This was to be the first of many projects, and the company he founded still bears his name and has established an enviable record of achievement in Construction, Civil Engineering & Services.

The bridge still stands and sports cast iron shields on each spandrel. It is these shields, designed by Thomas Vale in 1869, which form the basis of the Group's corporate identity today and which continues to represent our traditional values of honesty, integrity and trust, but in the modern world.

Each Group Business can interchange core skills and easily access key people leading to greater efficiencies and optimum added value solutions for our Clients.

This Group wide capability across all areas of property provides a distinct competitive advantage over our competitors.
