ABOUT US


About Us

The Beacon Group has developed a close working relationship with many organisations, this has proved to be successful both to the gradual expansion of the group services and to clients who have a trustworthy perception of the group as a whole.

We have always prided ourselves on our;

Quality of Work,

Quality of Labour

Response to attend site for quotation,

Call outs and contracting works &

Health and Safety procedures.

Many clients do not realise the scope of work that is covered by the Group or indeed the range of project values that the group works to. It was for this reason the group identified the need to produce a document in which was plain and simple to understand and navigate, in effect an advertising document which would illustrate the broad encompass of the group. Project Values Our general project values range from £500 - £3,500,000. We are committed to covering all values of work and offering the same standard of workmanship and office administration to

our smallest and our largest clients.

Thanks for the work you have done for us recently. The lads have done a very professional job and I am very pleased with the result. Derek Downing - Hunter Plastics

ISO9001 – Quality Management Systems A well known fact within business is that it is not the number of people a business employs or the size of the building it’s operated from its how the business is actually run that counts. To be a successful business we need to have some kind of control of the production and output and to the quality that this is done. Having an ISO would demonstrate that we are committed and reach a British standard at a minimum to produce consistent standards of quality in order to deliver the clients requirements and at a recognised standard. Incorporating this standard in to our everyday working activities should allow us to become more competitive due to established procedures thus reducing wastage on materials and human resources. The ISO should also improve our potential client assurance upon our services.
