Makers Celebrates 50 Years of Excellence in Structural Refurbishment
Makers Construction is proud to celebrate 50 years of specialist expertise in structural refurbishment, marking a significant milestone in the company’s long and respected history within the UK construction industry.
Over the past five decades, the Makers name has become synonymous with quality, technical excellence, and innovation in concrete repair and structural refurbishment. From its early roots to its position today as a nationally recognised specialist contractor, Makers has consistently evolved to meet the changing demands of the built environment while maintaining its core values of integrity, collaboration, and delivery.
Operating across the UK, Makers provides a comprehensive range of specialist services, including concrete repairs, cathodic protection, liquid roofing, movement joints, and structural strengthening, specialising in Car Park, Structural and Roofing Refurbishment. The company’s reputation has been built on tackling complex refurbishment challenges safely, sustainably, and to the highest technical standards.
A key part of Makers’ success is its people. Many team members have been with the business for decades, bringing deep technical knowledge and continuity to projects and client relationships alike. This long-standing commitment has helped foster a strong company culture and ensured consistently high standards of workmanship and service.
Reflecting on the milestone, the company recognises not only its achievements, but also the partnerships that have shaped its journey. Long-term clients, trusted supply chain partners, and dedicated employees have all played a vital role in the Makers story.
To mark its 50th year, Makers will be celebrating throughout the year with a programme of activities highlighting its heritage, landmark projects, and the people behind the business, sharing of key moments from the company’s history — while also looking ahead to the future of structural refurbishment.
As the industry continues to evolve, Makers remains focused on innovation, sustainability, and developing the next generation of specialist skills, ensuring it is well positioned for the decades ahead.
After 50 years of making a difference to the UK’s built environment, Makers looks forward to continuing its legacy of excellence, collaboration, and trust.
Simon Lamb, managing director “As we celebrate our 50th year of delivering exceptional refurbishment and structural solutions, our continued success is testament to the dedication and professionalism of the entire Makers team. We are proud to have been recognised with multiple industry honours, including recent wins at the British Parking Awards, such as the Car Park Renovation Award for Buckingham Road Multi-Storey Car Park in Worthing and longstanding success in the Best Renovation categories over many years. These achievements reflect the skill, innovation and teamwork we bring to every project we deliver.”
“Equally important to us is the way we work. Safety is at the heart of everything we do, and we constantly strive to maintain the highest standards across all sites and operations. Our ISO 45001 occupational health and safety certification, which we have upheld for many years, reinforces this commitment and underpins our approach to protecting everyone we work with — from our own workforce to our clients, partners and the wider community.”
“Maintaining excellence is not just about winning awards — it’s about consistently delivering safe, high-quality outcomes that our clients can trust. We recognise that every award we receive is a reflection of the values we uphold day-in and day-out: professionalism, integrity and a relentless focus on doing the right thing.”
“I would like to recognise those employees past and present who have shaped and driven Makers to the business it is today, without their legacy and hard work we wouldn’t have been able to ride the waves of uncertainty that affect our industry.”
“To the companies that have owned and invested in us, it is a testament to our people, clients and partners who continue to believe in us as we continue to move forward… where so many have failed, so here’s to the next 50 years and wherever that may take us!”
