Company History

Founded in the 1940's in Scotland by Harry Cruden to repair war damaged houses and subsequently under a license from Swedish company 'Skarne' for an innovative – off site manufactured concrete house – a forerunner of today's modern methods of construction, Cruden entered the volume house market.

In 1966 Cruden North West was founded, undertaking numerous projects around the region and in 1981 the renamed business – 'Cruden Construction Ltd' was purchased by Ted Brian and became part of the successful construction group, Headcrown Group Plc.

Over the interceding years the company has celebrated further milestones in the services offered and in operational area serviced:

• 1986 – Hillcrest Homes and Cruden Mechanical Services
• 1999 - Cruden Property Services Ltd
• 2003 - Cruden Homestyle Ltd
• 2007- Cruden Constuction (Midlands) Ltd
• 2010 - Cruden Small Works Ltd

Employee numbers have risen to over 350 and expansion of the group's customer base has seen services being delivered to a host of leading public and private sector clients.

Cruden Group companies are partners in 23 public sector construction and property maintenance frameworks.
