Welcome to Cruden Construction Midlands

Company History

Originally founded in the 1940's by Harry Cruden to repair war damaged houses initially across Scotland and then progressively across the UK. Under a license from Swedish company 'Skarne' Cruden worked in the volume house building sector employing an innovative – off site manufactured concrete house – a fore runner of today's modern methods of construction.

In 1966 Cruden Northwest was founded, undertaking numerous projects around the region and in 1981 Cruden Construction was purchased by Ted Brian and became part of the successful construction group Headcrown Group Plc.

Throughout our 40 year history we have completed a wide array of projects for both public and private sector clients. Recent construction projects include 3 Extracare Retirement Villages in Warrington, St Helens and Sheffield totaling 786 flats, bungalows and village centres, 6000 decent home refurbishments in Rochdale, 338 new houses in the Castlefields, Runcorn regeneration area, the new modern Primrose Hill Primary School and modernised Worsley Swimming Pool in Salford and the successful Anson and Blenheim PFI in Warrington which delivered 192 blind tenure homes.

Currently extensive partnering and framework arrangements are being operated across the region with housing associations, local authorities and new office has opened in Staffordshire to extend our operational area to the Midlands.
