The Hawkins Group

What The Hawkins Group does

The Hawkins Group is a privately held UK construction services group headquartered in Banbury, Oxfordshire, operating through three wholly owned subsidiaries — Hawkins Roofing Ltd (industrial and commercial roofing and cladding), Hawkins Steel Ltd (structural and architectural steel fabrication), and Hawkins Projects Ltd (principal contracting). Founded by Mick Hawkins in 1978 and transitioned to an Employee Owned Trust (EOT) in 2022, the group employs 100+ directly trained staff and reports group turnover above £30m, serving enterprise and mid-market clients across manufacturing, food processing, commercial property, education, agriculture, sports, and commercial laundry sectors throughout the UK.

The group's technical capability centres on an in-house Design and Innovation team that deploys 3D modelling, BIM software, virtual reality visualisation, and 3D scanning for site surveys, enabling precision engineering and pre-construction project previews. Hawkins Steel is UKCA accredited to BS EN 1090 for fabrication, while the wider group holds ISO 9001:2015, Constructionline (Roofing and Steel), SafeContractor, and Avetta certifications. Project work spans roof refurbishments (£218,000–£4m+), structural steel frameworks, mezzanine floors, and full building envelope upgrades, frequently executed within live operational environments.

Revenue is generated on a project-based, fixed-price model through competitive tendering and direct enterprise relationships. Pricing is individually scoped per project with no published tiers; the business reports a 93% repeat customer rate as evidence of relationship durability. Go-to-market is sales-led, combining case-study-driven content marketing, LinkedIn/Facebook/YouTube presence, and industry exhibitions (e.g., MACH Exhibition), with key supply-chain partners including Kingspan, Tata Steel, and The Moy Group for materials supply.
