About the employer

Horbury Group is recognised by the Department of Education as one of the nation's Top 100 Apprenticeship Employers for 2022. Horbury was originally formed in 1992 and initially specialised in drylining and fire protection business. Through acquisition and organic growth, we have expanded into a group of specialist contracting business offering the full compendium of internal fit out trades. Current specialist trades undertaken by Horbury Group include drylining and partitioning, structural fire protection, SFS, suspended ceilings, demountable glazed screens, carpets, vinyl and timber flooring, ceramic tiling, resin & screed flooring, joinery installation, joinery manufacturing, FF&E, external wall insulation, planned maintenance and facilities management. This holistic approach to construction specialisms has led to a group of 6 companies each with the right level of specialist knowledge and experience to give our clients the service they require. The Horbury Group now enjoys a turnover more than £100m and employs around 1,000 people ensuring we have unrivalled resource levels and delivery capability within every one of our specialist sectors. Our Regional offices in London and South Wales & The Midlands complement our Yorkshire Headquarters and ensure we have full national coverage, but by maintaining our original concept of trade specific subsidiaries we remain flexible to carry out even the smallest project, giving us a project range of £10k through to £15m. However, it is our ability to carry out multi-trade fit out packages that truly sets the Horbury Group apart from our competitors, where even the most complex projects can be carried out using only our own staff and skilled trades people thus ensuring we have full control over programme coordination, quality and commercial issues without the need to engage external subcontractors.
