What Glanville Projects does

Glanville Projects Ltd. is a UK private limited company headquartered at 104 Ock Street, Abingdon, Oxfordshire, founded in 1987 as one of the UK's first Construction Managers. It provides construction management, project management, cost planning/quantity surveying and health & safety services to commercial clients across five primary verticals: utilities and energy; healthcare and pharmaceutical (especially life sciences laboratories and R&D facilities); retail; industrial and manufacturing; and infrastructure. Service delivery spans the full project lifecycle from feasibility, planning and procurement through design management, site management, commissioning and handover, with quantity surveying and H&S/CDM advisory delivered as integrated, in-house capabilities.

The business operates a director-led B2B professional services model, with two named directors (Robert Seymour and Mark Horrocks) personally engaged on client accounts. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales across Central Southern England, London and the wider UK, supported by sector-led thought-leadership on the company website. The firm holds sector-relevant pre-qualifications including ISO 9001:2015 (since 2017) and Achilles UVDB Category B1 registration (since 2018), plus Living Wage Foundation accreditation (since 2022). Named enterprise clients include Evotec, Adaptimmune, Enara Bio, SSEN, National Grid, Lidl, Homebase, Mays Properties, Oxford University, Miele, Network Rail, MEPC Granta Park and SSE Power Distribution, with several relationships spanning multiple years or decades.

Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the firm operates without external equity or private capital, having grown organically since founding. There is no proprietary technology platform, no AI/ML capability disclosed, and no app or API offering — the underlying operating asset is the team's professional experience and personal service delivery. Pricing is project-based B2B professional services fees, not publicly disclosed.
