4 Crosses Construction

What 4 Crosses Construction does

4 Crosses Construction Ltd is a privately held, family-owned civil engineering and building contractor founded in 1994 on the Isle of Anglesey and incorporated in 2004, headquartered in Menai Bridge, Anglesey, with a second office in St Asaph, Denbighshire. The company delivers five core service lines: civil engineering (roads, sewers, drainage, stormwater management, retaining walls, specialist foundations, ground stabilisation), groundworks (bulk earthworks, substructures, gas and heave protection, hard landscaping), new build (residential estates, dwellings, industrial units, bespoke structures), refurbishments and alterations (care homes, schools, commercial fit-out, extensions), and renovations. Underlying delivery relies on in-house tradesmen — some retained since the company's founding — and an owned fleet of earth moving equipment, supplemented by apprenticeship intake via CITB.

The firm operates throughout North Wales, Cheshire, and Merseyside, serving residential developers (Redrow Homes, Lister Carter), the Ministry of Defence (via Amey Defence at RAF Valley), local authorities (Gwynedd, Conwy, Denbighshire councils), and private clients, with approximately 40% of revenue from the public sector. Project values disclosed range from £600,000 (Maes Lletroed self-developed housing) to £7.9 million (Heathlands for Redrow), with multi-year contract durations of up to 6.5 years.

Revenue is generated through project-based, quote-driven contracts awarded on a direct basis, with the majority of work won through repeat business and relationships exceeding 25 years with several clients. In 2016 the company merged with its sister entity M&B Contractors Ltd following the retirement of founder David Titchiner, and in 2019 it launched a new homes division to develop affordable and luxury residential properties directly, alongside a corporate rebrand. The firm is a NHBC Registered Builder and holds ISO 9001:2015, Constructionline Gold, CHAS, SMAS, and FMB accreditations, positioning it for public sector procurement.

Direct peers

• McPhillips (Wellington) Ltd: Welsh-headquartered civil engineering and building contractor operating across Wales and the Midlands, with a similar mix of infrastructure, groundwork, new build and refurbishment work for residential developers and public sector clients. Closely comparable in size, scope and regional footprint to 4 Crosses.
• Jones Bros Ruthin: North Wales-headquartered civil engineering contractor delivering infrastructure, energy, highways and waste projects. Comparable in regional base, civil engineering focus and family-owned origins, though skewed more towards larger infrastructure than residential building.
• Alun Griffiths (Contractors) Ltd: Welsh civil engineering and construction group with a heavy focus on highways, bridges, water and infrastructure across Wales and the South West. Overlaps directly with 4 Crosses on road/sewer/drainage infrastructure and is a comparable regional civil engineering competitor.
• Walters Group: Swansea-based, family-owned civil engineering and construction group covering groundworks, infrastructure, energy and commercial builds. Comparable in family ownership, regional Welsh base and the dual civil + building service model that 4 Crosses operates.
• Eric Wright Group: North West England-headquartered construction and property group covering civil engineering, building, refurbishment and developments. Direct overlap with 4 Crosses on Cheshire/Merseyside public sector and developer work, and similar in family ownership and regional orientation.

Regional players

• Anwyl Construction: North Wales-based housebuilder and contractor, more residential-developer-facing than 4 Crosses but operating in the same Anglesey/North Wales geography and frequently contracting (or competing) for groundwork packages in the same developments.
• Watkin Jones Group: Listed North Wales-headquartered developer and contractor focused on residential, student accommodation and build-to-rent. Overlaps with 4 Crosses on North Wales residential schemes and is a credible developer-side counterparty (or competitor for the same plots).
• Seddon Group: Family-owned construction group operating across the North West and Midlands delivering new build, refurbishment and maintenance for public sector and residential clients. Comparable in family ownership, regional concentration and the building-plus-refurbishment service mix.

Broad incumbents

• Bowmer + Kirkland: Large UK national contractor delivering commercial, industrial, leisure and infrastructure projects. Operates in the same broader nonresidential building market as 4 Crosses but at a materially larger scale and with national reach, frequently competing for the larger end of 4 Crosses' target tenders.
• Morgan Sindall Group: Listed UK construction and regeneration group with divisions covering infrastructure, construction, fit-out and property services. Provides the public sector and housebuilder routes to market that 4 Crosses competes for, but at vastly greater scale and balance sheet capacity.
