Its customer base spans enterprise developers (Cala Homes, Elivia Homes, Rydon Homes, Croudace Homes, The Emerson Group, Linden Homes) and mid-market builders (Vanderbilt Homes, Macar Homes, Westbrook Developments, Cubed Homes), with active projects across Sussex, Surrey, Kent and Greater London. Secondary work extends into mixed-use and healthcare construction (e.g., University College Hospital MRI centre). Lenmark operates a modern fleet of SANY, Takeuchi, Hyundai and Hitachi excavators, Thwaites dumpers, and employs differentiated on-site technology including Leica Geosystem 3D excavating tilt-rotator attachments, containerised PIN/fob fuel units, Shocksafe shovels rated to 10,000 volts, and front-facing camera-equipped mini diggers.

The business is sales-led, founder-owned by Len Nugent with key directors Barrie Rossiter (Managing Director) and Mark Schneidau. The company monetises through one-time, negotiated groundworks contracts with no publicly disclosed pricing tiers, operates an in-house Training Academy delivering CITB, City & Guilds, IOSH and British Safety Council accredited courses in multiple languages, and holds UK Home Office sponsor status enabling direct international recruitment.
