Our History & Ethos

Barnwood Limited started in 1962 as Barnwood Builders. Today things look a little different to how they did then; we have grown significantly and now have 3 divisions – Shopfitting & Interiors, Construction and General Works. We employ around 190 people.

Barnwood is a people-centred business which values equality, creativity, and diversity.

We are focused on developing our people and as a business we actively recognise and reward effort. Through encouraging individual career aspirations, personal development, and internal progression, we aim for our people to build long and rewarding careers in construction.

We believe Barnwood is a great place to work and this is reflected in our high levels of staff retention. As we are Employee Owned, all employees are invested in making the company successful. Our culture is reflected in our staff and this is essential in our delivery to our customers.

The friendly, straightforward, and honest approach established by our founding directors remains the bedrock of our company ethos.  Our core values reflect our commitment to deliver social value across our business operations. This is underpinned through our company ethos ‘The Barnwood Way’.
