Conway Group

What Conway Group does

Conway Group is a privately held, multi-disciplined group headquartered in Magherafelt, Northern Ireland, founded in 1974 by PJ Conway and his wife Tillie Conway as PJ Conway Contractors Limited. The company operates through four core divisions: Property (commercial and residential investment, development, and asset management across Ireland and the UK, managing over 1 million sq ft of accommodation and over 500 acres of land for future development), Construction (building and civil engineering services for commercial, hotel, retail, healthcare, and residential developments), Healthcare (eight care homes across Northern Ireland caring for over 480 residents annually under the Brooklands and Cottage brands), and Fit-Out (interior fit-out and refurbishment services). Conway Group employs over 700 staff across Group businesses and associated companies, with revenue generated through a combination of project-based construction contracts, recurring rental income from a blue-chip commercial tenant base (including Investec, Danske Bank, Willis Towers Watson, McDonald's, Premier Inn, and Spar), and recurring fees from residential care services.

The company serves enterprise clients through direct engagement on major projects rather than through intermediaries, with a relationship-driven sales approach in construction and a direct admission process for healthcare services. Conway Group's commercial tenants span financial services, insurance, retail, food & beverage, hospitality, media, and legal sectors, providing diversified rental demand. Notable property assets include Centrepoint Belfast, Deansgate Manchester, Premier Inn properties, and the Olivia Centre Glengormley. The Group operates with a vertically integrated model that captures margin layers from development through construction to long-term operation of assets (including healthcare facilities), giving it a structural advantage over standalone competitors in any single segment.

Revenue is not publicly disclosed and the company does not present a proprietary technology platform, app, or AI/ML capabilities. The Group operates as a traditional real-asset and labor-intensive business with a corporate website and standard social media presence (Facebook, LinkedIn, X) as its primary digital surface. Marketing and business development rely on direct enterprise relationships, project delivery reputation, and public consultation events for major developments. The company remains under family ownership and control, with no disclosed external investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity.
