History
John F. Chambers, a Civil Engineer, started Lindum Construction (Lindum is the Roman name for Lincoln) in 1956. The first office was on Waterside North in Lincoln and began with a very competent Secretary, Mrs Pauline Brown (who subsequently became Chairlady 32 yrs later), 3 tradesmen and a dog called Shep.
From the very beginning, the philosophy of the Company was set clearly towards practical skills and good relationships with clients and this continues to this day.
The business expanded from civil engineering primarily for water companies and industrial customers to building and construction over the years and, today, employs over 480 people directly, has a turnover of £90m, with offices in Lincoln, Grimsby, Spalding, Peterborough and London.
As the company has grown, so too has the philosophy of sharing the success of the company with ALL of its employees and, today, Lindum Group is one of only 46 companies 100% owned by its employees in the UK, which means that our employees are very well motivated and committed to looking after a customer's requirements and needs.
THE DIFFERENCE [REALLY] IS OUR PEOPLE.
