FAITHDEAN

What FAITHDEAN does

Faithdean Plc is a privately held UK main contractor founded in 1977 by David South MBE, specialising in construction, fit-out, and refurbishment across London and the South East of England. The group operates from its Chatham, Kent headquarters (acquired 1984) and a London office at Borough High Street (acquired 2010), with a workforce of 101–250 employees. Faithdean remains founder-family-owned with no external investment, and Chris South — son of the founder — was appointed CEO on 1 April 2024.

The company's service offering is delivered through the parent and a portfolio of wholly-owned subsidiaries and specialist divisions: Broadland Construction & Interiors (residential fit-out and conservation, joined 1997), Oakdean Construction (design-and-build, formed 2015), Castlethorpe Homes (new-build residential in Oxfordshire and Central England, added 2020), Faithdean Special Works (cladding and fire-safety remediation, formed 2020 to address post-Grenfell regulation), plus in-house Faithdean MEP (2019) and Faithdean Rail Division (2019). There is no software platform or technology product; delivery uses traditional construction management supported by ISO 9001/14001/45001 certifications, Constructionline Gold, RISQS rail qualification, and CIOB Chartered Building Company status (awarded 2025).

Revenue is earned through project-based fixed-price contracts tendered competitively or negotiated directly, with individual contract values ranging from circa £350k for smaller fit-outs to over £25m for major refurbishment schemes. The customer base is concentrated in UK commercial real estate — including Great Portland Estates, Lazari Investments, Workspace Group, Segro, Legal & General, China Resources Land, LS Estates and LCP Properties — supplemented by corporate clients such as Rolex UK and ICAEW. The group reaches customers via direct business development, repeat relationships, an active project-portfolio website, LinkedIn, industry events including MIPIM, and earned PR. Geographic footprint remains predominantly London and the South East, with limited expansion into the Home Counties and Central England via Castlethorpe Homes.
