What JOHN LLOYD HEYWOOD LTD does

John Lloyd Heywood Ltd is a privately-held, family-owned specialist road surfacing contractor founded in 1978 and headquartered in Heywood, Greater Manchester. The firm delivers asphalt surfacing and minor civil works across North West England and surrounding areas, operating with 1-10 employees under a project-based engagement model. Services span hot rolled asphalt, stone mastic asphalt, asphalt concrete (Bitmac), coloured asphalts, and permeable asphalts, supplemented by surface planing, kerb replacement, and ironwork adjustments.

The company holds ISO 9001, CHAS (Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme), Construction Line, and Builders' Profile accreditations, and is a Local Authority approved contractor qualified to deliver Section 278 and 38 highway agreements. Its CSCS- and CPCS-qualified workforce underwrites compliance for public-sector and main-contractor engagements. Customer mix spans private residential clients (driveways), property developers and local authorities (new highways, adoptions, pavements), and main contractors (commercial car parks, forecourts, footpaths, cycle paths), with a documented testimonial portfolio that includes National Grid, Cardinal Langley RC High School, Diocese of Salford, and Cutler Waterworth Civil Engineering.

Revenue is generated through quote-based, one-time project contracts with no publicly disclosed pricing, no recurring SaaS or framework arrangement, and no external institutional investors identified. GTM motion is sales-led and relationship-based: free, no-obligation quotes are issued through the company website (johnlloyds.co.uk), supported by customer testimonials and a project gallery. The firm does not disclose financial metrics and operates without a dedicated marketing function beyond its website and reputational referrals.
