Shaun met with Ron and the team at CLM Ltd (Currall Lewis and Martin) based in Oldbury, and discussed the work they are undertaking in connection with HS2 and other projects including waterways, rail, drainage, sheet piling and highways.
They also explained how they have diversified since they were founded in 1867, and their plans for continued growth going forward.
The Company was originally founded in 1867 by three partners to carry out civil engineering works in Birmingham and the surrounding areas. This continued under their ownership until 1925, when it was purchased by the Leach family who continued in civil engineering, but expanded also into building works until the retirement of the family from the company in 1977. In 1979 the Company’s name was changed to Currall Lewis and Martin (Construction) Limited.
In January 2001, the Company became independent of the previous owners, now being run by its former managers and directly employed workforce.
