The Carey Group is a leading family-owned civil engineering, construction and dry-lining company operating across the UK

About us

Our story starts in 1969 with three brothers and a van. John, Tom and Pat Carey moved to London from Ireland and started a groundworks contracting company in London called PJ Carey Plant Hire (Oval) Ltd. Their aspirations at the time were reflective of the values of the Carey Group today – to care about everything they did, to act with humility in all interactions, to be passionate about their work and be authentic at all times. The Carey Group remains a family-owned construction business, operating across the UK and Ireland. Their goal at the time was to grow to around 50 operatives and provide quality, safe work so that they and their employees could provide for their families and get safe home every day. Through hard work and sticking to their values and their word, this was certainly achieved….and some. Throughout the years, we have remained committed to delivering on our promises, respecting our clients, offering innovative solutions and producing the highest-quality work in safe environments. These are the core principles set by our Founders, the ones we have never wavered from and they help us to fulfil our ultimate vision to be the most trusted and socially responsible construction company, that people are proud to work with. Our strong approach is underpinned by robust financial management, continuous investment in our people, specialist equipment and strategic assets and our long-standing culture of teamwork – we want to create the very best environments for our people. We care about our people and our partners and how we work with them, ensuring we do our best by them. Ultimately, we care about our impact on the world around us and the communities that we proudly help to shape.

    At our project at Imperial College London – White City Campus, following our installation of a new bridge, the team are starting work on the demolition of the old bridge over the Central line. The start of this work included installation of a suspended crash deck with the final steel frame installation shown on our short video below. The frames will now be decked out with timber prior to the reinforced concrete jack arch removal. Over the coming weeks we’ll provide further updates on the demolition of the bridge, so stay tuned. #CivilEngineering #Demolition #Infrastructure

    It is with heavy hearts we share that on Tuesday 14th January, Tom Carey, one of the three founding brothers of the Carey Group, sadly passed away. Tom was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother and uncle and friend to many. He will be greatly missed by his loving family and close friends, whom we ask you to keep in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you to everyone who has already expressed their condolences – we know from these how loved and respected Tom was and that he will be deeply missed by many. Tom was lucky enough to meet and work with so many good people. He had lots of fond memories and stories that he shared with us all in his unique way and with his dry sense of humour! We, the family, now ask for privacy at this time to allow us to come to terms with this loss. The Carey family
