ESH GROUP
Our roots are firmly in the region. Group headquarters are sited within a few miles of our original home in the village of Esh Winning. Our founder directors continue to be actively involved in the business and we have a rich tradition of ‘growing our own’; many of our senior team first joined as trainees and apprentices and we continue to recruit and nurture young people.
Our range of services is unrivalled. We support our clients through a diverse range of construction related products and services. We can work independently or in close partnership; our eye is ever on the needs and aims of those we serve. Our vision for the future is clear. We see construction as dynamic, exciting and rewarding.
We are passionate about continuing to progress and develop; delivering satisfaction and reward to our clients, our people, the public we serve and the region in which we live, work and play. ‘In a sector not generally known for passion, excitement and innovation, Esh Group has genuinely broken the mould and shown
how a well-run, well-motivated company can accomplish great feats, again and again.’

In the 1970s three enterprising men founded new businesses in Esh Winning near Durham. Tony Carroll and Jack Lumsden formed Lumsden & Carroll. Michael Hogan formed Deerness Fencing. By the 1990s Jack and Tony had recruited Brian Manning (now Group Chief Executive), Andrew Pickett (now Group Finance Director), and other key team members.
In the mid 1990s the businesses were merged to create what has become the largest indigenous construction company operating in the North East of England – Esh Group.
