FP Hurley

What FP Hurley does

FP Hurley & Sons Ltd is a UK mechanical and electrical building services contractor founded in 1949 and headquartered in Bridgend, Wales, with a regional office in Exeter. The company designs, installs, and maintains mechanical systems (heating, ventilation, air conditioning, plumbing, medical gases) and, since extending into electrical services in 2019-2022, full electrical building services (power, lighting, fire alarm, access control, data, photovoltaics). Core technical capabilities include in-house BIM Level 2 coordination (Autodesk BIM360, Magicad, Revit, Navisworks, Revizto), thermal modelling, and specialist decarbonisation delivery spanning heat pumps, district heating networks, solar PV, and CHP systems, with aftercare supported by CAFM/SFG20 planned maintenance.

The company primarily serves UK public sector and institutional clients across Wales, South West England, South East England, and the Midlands, with deep penetration in healthcare (multiple NHS Trusts including South Warwickshire, Yeovil, and Velindre Cancer Centre), education (Cardiff, Swansea, UWE), and government/blue light (South Wales Police). It is also appointed by Tier 1 main contractors including BAM, Willmott Dixon, Bouygues, Morgan Sindall, Vinci, and Galliford Try. Its go-to-market relies on framework membership (CEF Framework 5, Helga), direct client appointments, and early-stage design engagement rather than broad marketing.

Revenue is generated through bespoke, project-based contracts (mechanical and electrical installation), with a recurring aftercare/maintenance stream using CAFM/SFG20 standards. The firm is privately held, family-led by Managing Director Adrian Hurley (BESA President), holds ISO 9001/14001/45001, NICEIC Approved Contractor, and ECA memberships, and operates a 75-year apprenticeship programme that won the BESA National Training Initiative of the Year award in 2023.

Product overview
