We are defined by our talent, our drive, and our diversity. By bringing exceptional individuals together and rewarding excellence, we can achieve extraordinary things. The personal and professional development of our workforce is fundamental to our success — by nurturing our people and helping them to fulfil their potential, we can fulfil ours as an organisation.
Defying convention
It’s time to re-think your expectations of a typical project. DE Group sites are different. Informed by a rigorous approach to health and safety and an unwavering commitment to the welfare of our workforce, we devote considerable energy and attention to creating a high-quality environment for all of our personnel. It’s an approach that also benefits adjoining sites and passers-by, reducing our impact on the wider locality throughout the duration of our works.
As a result, you can spot a DE Group site from a distance… organised, tidy, efficient and — above all — safe. As operators, we also recognise the critical importance of site presentation to market perception, so branding of hoardings, vehicles and staff apparel are given elevated priority. It’s another outward expression of the pride we take in the work we do as a group.

In order to achieve this consistency of performance, we are committed to a culture of continuous improvement — a commitment to excellence in every aspect of our operations.
We collaborate
With talent at every level of our organisation, our integrated, collaborative approach ensures that the required expertise is always on hand — from start to finish of every project. Our commitment to quality is personified by our people, with consistently outstanding craftsmanship delivered by our highly skilled workforce.
We’re accountable
With cross-departmental collaboration at all levels, key decision makers are fully involved and engaged at all times, enabling a uniquely responsive approach.
We innovate
We overcome structural and logistical challenges by implementing a solutions-driven approach, sourcing and adopting new processes and materials. When they don’t exist, we develop our own.
As a diverse, progressive organisation, there are no barriers for talent to thrive. We have built our business by enabling our staff to realise their potential. We reward hard work, expertise and experience, and many senior management roles are occupied by individuals who have worked their way up through our ranks.Paul Ford, Chairman
