Armstrong Watson
Full Credential Description
Dave Meldrum, CEO of Meldrum Construction Services Group Ltd, faced the challenge of expanding his construction business beyond its regional roots. Established in 2001, the company had grown to employ over 220 people, with a targeted turnover of £70 million for 2024. The need for expansion arose as existing clients requested services outside their original region, prompting the opening of a new office in Cambridge in 2023. This strategic move allowed Meldrum to service the entire UK, following successful project deliveries in the South East.
To address the expansion, Meldrum Construction undertook significant projects, including a £9.8 million fit-out and extension for Linnaeus Vets at Dick White Referrals, and a £6.8 million refurbishment of Durham’s Miners Hall as part of the Redhills Revealed project. The company prides itself on its core values of Integrity, Pride, Passion, Quality, and Innovation, and has been recognized with the Investors in People Gold accreditation, reflecting its commitment to workforce development through the support of over 180 apprentices and trainees.
Since partnering with we in 2020, Meldrum has experienced approximately 10% growth year on year. Dave Meldrum values the relationship with we, particularly the quality of advice and support provided. He appreciates the ability to discuss various business scenarios with Michael Morris, an Audit and Assurance Partner, who offers insights that go beyond standard audit services. This partnership has facilitated a seamless audit process, allowing Meldrum to focus on business growth while receiving timely and effective support. The collaboration has not only enhanced operational efficiency but has also reinforced the importance of building strong relationships in achieving business success.
