Mears Group is a remarkable success story that started modestly in 1988 in a small portacabin in Gloucestershire. Fast-forward to today, and the group has grown exponentially, boasting a team of over 8,000 employees and a turnover of £420m.

Behind this success lies a strong commitment to employee engagement and wellbeing. Recognising the importance of mental health, the group has invested in Mental Health First Aiders for each branch or contract and established a Mental Health Steering Group. It also holds regular mental health conferences and actively supports disability issues, ensuring that all employees feel included and supported.

The group's commitment to its employees is matched by its dedication to the wider community. Mears Group operates with a social conscience, tackling issues that matter to people and communities. Its robust approach to delivering social value has seen it collaborate with clients, communities, customers, partners and supply chain to deliver lasting outcomes. In 2023 alone, it achieved a year-on-year improvement in social value, delivering £108m impact from the Social Value Portal.

Mears Group is more than an organisation; it's a community that cares. Its story is one of growth, commitment, and a strong focus on people – both within the organisation and in the communities it serves. This ethos is reflected in its values, its actions, and its continued success.
