What Lindum Group does

Lindum Group is a UK-based, employee-owned construction and property services company founded in 1956 and headquartered in Lincoln, England. The company operates across the East Midlands, Yorkshire, and East Anglia regions from three offices (Lincoln, York, Peterborough), delivering new build, refurbishment, design & build, maintenance, roofing and cladding, bespoke joinery, and security services, alongside property development, plant hire, and waste recycling operations. Projects typically run up to £20m in value across public sector, commercial, education, heritage, blue light, food, leisure and retail, and partnership housing segments, with notable clients including South Kesteven District Council, Ashfield District Council, Primark, University of Lincoln, York Racecourse, and TJ Morris (Home Bargains). The company has been partly employee-owned since 1994, with 500+ of its 600+ employees holding shares; it is co-chaired by Freddie Chambers. The business model combines fixed-price construction contracts (most projects delivered on this basis with build risk assumed), joint venture property development and land services, rental income from business space lettings, new homes for sale, and recurring plant hire and waste recycling revenue. The company holds accreditations including ISO 19650 (BIM), PAS 402:2025 (waste), CHAS, Constructionline Gold, SafeContractor, NHBC, and is listed on the SCAPE regional construction framework. In 2025, Lindum reported revenue of £209.3m, net profit of £9.93m (4.75% net margin), and a net asset value of £77.7m with no borrowing. Technology infrastructure centres on ISO 19650-certified Building Information Modelling and a Citrix ShareFile-backed encrypted client portal, with go-to-market executed via direct field sales, public sector frameworks, and repeat client relationships.
