OGL Construction

What OGL Construction does

OGL Construction is a privately held UK construction company headquartered in Steeton, Keighley, West Yorkshire, operating as the trading name of OGL (Construction & Developments) Ltd (Company No. 11905093, incorporated 2019). The company delivers integrated design, build, and maintenance services as Principal Contractor to enterprise, public-sector, and private residential clients across Yorkshire and the North of England, with select projects extending into Lancashire, Cumbria, and southern Scotland. Its work spans commercial developments, industrial and logistics facilities, retail fit-outs, civil engineering and infrastructure (including EV charging hubs and bus depots), education and leisure schemes, heritage refurbishments, and bespoke residential projects. Notable engagements include a 180,000 sqft distribution centre for Brook Taverner, a 65,000 sqft food production facility for Tiffin Sandwiches, 13 new industrial units for the Ciceley Group in Blackburn, and the North York Moors National Park Authority headquarters refurbishment.

The business operates three core service lines, structured as 'We Design,' 'We Build,' and 'We Maintain.' The pre-construction 'We Design' offering covers design management, commercial management, and methodology and programme development using the RIBA Plan of Work 2020 framework. 'We Build' covers full Principal Contractor delivery across multiple sectors, while 'We Maintain' provides planned and reactive maintenance and facilities management supported by a proprietary cloud-based Integrated Management System (IMS) that digitises building records, maintenance schedules, asset registers, service reports, and compliance documentation across client portfolios. OGL also acts as both developer and contractor on selected schemes, retaining developed assets for long-term income and pursuing joint-venture development opportunities with landowners and investors. The company holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications (valid through 2026) and Constructionline Gold/Elite GB status, supporting eligibility for public-sector and large-enterprise tenders.

OGL generates revenue through lump-sum construction contracts awarded via competitive tender, direct appointment, and repeat business, supplemented by ongoing maintenance and facilities management service contracts. Customer acquisition is enterprise field sales-led across Yorkshire and the North of England, with a portfolio that includes Ciceley Commercials, Transdev Blazefield, Zenobe Rental 12, Yorkshire Coastliner, Gaunts, Redbrick Mills, Brook Taverner, Tiffin Sandwiches, the Ciceley Pension Fund, and the North York Moors National Park Authority. The company is privately owned with no disclosed institutional investors, no parent entity, and no publicly available financial statements; reported headcount is 1-10 employees, with a core team that includes site managers, project managers, an office administrator, and an apprentice.
