Founded in 2013 by John Hughes, Gerard May, and Mick Hammond, HMH Civils Ltd sprang from humble beginnings in portacabins at a Stokesley yard and has since grown into a leading civil engineering firm with its own building in Stockton‑on‑Tees
Spanning the North East, Yorkshire, and the Humber region, HMH Civils specialises in a wide array of services—civil engineering, groundworks, roads and sewers, and robust external works—all carried out with meticulous attention to quality, reliability, and customer satisfaction.
With a dedicated workforce of over 300 field employees and nearly 30 based at its head office, the company blends a family-owned culture with professional excellence, fostering strong client relationships and maintaining an exceptional staff retention rate.
HMH Civils has achieved remarkable growth—expanding its turnover from approximately £7 million at inception to about £40 million by year four, and reaching £56 million by 2021. The company has since strategically stabilized at around £45 million, reflecting its focus on delivering high-quality results rather than scaling at the expense of standards .
Integrity, honesty, and professionalism lie at the heart of HMH’s ethos. The company values strong bonds, teamwork, and a friendly, supportive workplace that rewards dedication and ambition. Their customer care team is committed to ensuring projects exceed expectations and are completed with minimal disruption, handling any post-completion issues with sensitivity and responsiveness.
Beyond operational excellence, HMH Civils champions community engagement. They have actively supported numerous charitable causes—from local autism support groups, The Red Sky Foundation and have partnered with The Great North Air Ambulance through donations, fundraising efforts, and annual events.
