What Toureen Group does

Toureen Group is a privately held UK specialist construction services group founded in 1992 by Denis Nolan and headquartered in Harrow, Middlesex. The group delivers integrated construction services across eight divisions: Principal Contractor Services, Structures, Civils & Groundworks, Demolition (operated through the heritage Tilley & Barrett brand, established 1951), Remediation, Retail & Petroleum, EV & Hydrogen Installations, and Support Services. Services can be contracted individually or combined into a turnkey integrated-delivery solution, with the company positioning single-point accountability, in-house support services (precast manufacturing, design, plant hire, haulage, geotechnical, surveying, CCTV, training), and a proprietary TDM digital platform for real-time sustainability tracking and a Concrete Carbon Calculator for embodied-carbon assessment as key differentiators.

The group serves commercial and residential developers, major oil companies and fuel retailers (Shell, BP, Motor Fuel Group, Jet/Phillips 66), Tier 1 main contractors (Wates, Sir Robert McAlpine, Berkeley Group, Osborne, HG Construction), public sector clients (NHS trusts, MoJ, universities), and aviation operators (Heathrow Airport). Toureen operates from two offices — Harrow and a Northern Home Counties regional office in Luton — and has extended into the Republic of Ireland via Toureen Ireland (formed 2024, anchored by the Dublin Airport Sofitel project) and into the aviation sector via Toureen Aviation (formed 2025). The business model is project-based construction contracting on a tender-by-tender basis, with revenue derived from construction works, enabling works, and specialist services; specific pricing is not publicly disclosed. Family ownership persists, with founder Denis Nolan serving as Chairman and Dan Nolan as Director; no institutional or PE ownership is evident.
