Conlon Construction (Nottingham) Limited

What Conlon Construction (Nottingham) Limited does

Conlon Construction (Nottingham) Limited is a privately held, family-run UK main contractor established in 1985 and headquartered at 20 Great Northern Way, Netherfield, Nottingham (NG4 2HD). The firm delivers construction projects nationwide with a contract ceiling of £10 million, operating across three service divisions: Construction Services (design-and-build, new build, refurbishment, modular buildings, shop fitting, demolition), Civil Engineering (groundworks, foundations, drainage, utilities, Section 38/184/278 highway works, attenuation, thrust-bore drilling), and Buildings & Interiors (structural steelwork, cladding, roofing, interior finishes and MEP installations). It retains its own joiners and labourers for direct delivery control.

The company generates revenue through fixed-price construction contracts secured via competitive tendering and direct appointment as Principal Contractor, working with property owners, retailers, hospitality groups and local authorities alongside architectural consultancies (e.g., The Harris Partnership, Paul Owen Associates). Its customer base is concentrated in two primary segments: QSR and high-street retail chains (Costa, KFC, Greggs, McDonald's, Starbucks, The Range, Sainsbury's, Greene King, Moto Hospitality) and hospitality (notably Hilton on Park Lane). Repeat business and word-of-mouth referrals are the principal demand-generation mechanism; the firm holds CHAS accreditation and Considerate Constructors Scheme membership, including a 2019 Certificate of Excellence.

The firm operates with 37 employees, has no external institutional ownership or funding rounds, and shows no AI, software, or platform capabilities — its competitive position is built on in-house trades, multi-sector construction experience, and trusted-supplier status within UK chain procurement. Strategic activity centres on landing multi-site rollout programmes (drive-thru restaurants, retail fit-outs) and selective landmark projects (e.g., the £3.2m Hilton Park Lane ballroom refurbishment in 2022; the £1.69m Sainsbury's Hitchin new build in 2025).
