CONSTRUCTION
Meldrum continues to make a difference
Meldrum Construction Group puts people at the heart of their business. Known for its philanthropic approach to business, the firm’ s“ Meldrum starts with me” ethos clearly sets out its standards.
By incorporating social value into business operations, Meldrum Group is creating a more sustainable and inclusive environment for its workforce and, in turn, the local communities in which it operates.
In 2025, the employee-owned trust delivered £ 4m through social value initiatives- some built into the firm’ s projects, some ad hoc and others led by the staff who identified local initiatives for Meldrum Group to support.
The Meldrum Foundation supports local grassroots charities, ensuring money raised hits the ground and truly makes a difference and allowing staff to see that difference in action.

£ 10,000 charity donations – to Oasis Community Housing, Team Solan Cancer Trust and Heel & Toe.
Supporting local also extends to supporting local talent. Meldrum prides itself on its training and development programme, supporting employees through qualifications such as apprenticeships and university degrees.
A construction group with a difference, Meldrum has a reputation for creating lasting positive change, leading the firm to retain its Investors in People Gold accreditation back in 2024. This type of culture is cultivated by the people Meldrum hires and develops.
Group CEO Dave Meldrum said:“ It is harder to teach integrity, so we recruit people with that quality and promote a culture that allows people to maintain it.”
