From our family to yours
“It matters to us that everybody takes pride in what Seddon achieves in a manner that builds on our history, values and culture."
Founded in 1897 by brothers George and John Seddon, we’re proud to still be family-owned, now by the fourth and fifth generations. The Seddon family see themselves as guardians of the business. They look after it not just for today, but for future generations: their own families, and the families of everyone who works here. That long-term thinking shapes how we behave. We invest in our people, build relationships that last and make decisions for the right reasons, not just the quick ones.

The Spirit of Seddon
Our Values
Doing the right thing
We employ our own people and invest in developing them. We work to high standards and never cut corners. We give back, and we aim to be an exceptional employer, neighbour, partner and customer. We champion business as a force for good, our industry and modern ways of working. Above all, we deliver on our promises and see every job through.
Relationships for life
It’s never just one job. It’s the job after, and the one after that. We build customer relationships that last, look after the wider Seddon family and support one another. We communicate openly and aim to give everyone who works with us, or for us, an exceptional experience.
Solving problems creatively
We find ways to deliver in challenging circumstances. We keep learning, improving and embracing new thinking, working through challenges together with our customers. We also grow our services to meet new needs and opportunities.
Being agile and resilient
We adapt to a changing world and stay flexible to meet our customers’ needs on site and beyond. We maintain a strong balance sheet, adopt technology that makes us better, and coach our people to build a strong mindset and look after their wellbeing.
