About this employer

When Charles W Clowes founded the CWC Group on 17th September 1964, he did so on the guiding principles of honesty, integrity, passion and innovation. That DNA still runs deep throughout the company, influencing our decision-making half a century later. Over the next 50 years, Charles diligently built up a major property and development portfolio including industrial, office, retail and housing over more than 120 sites. He had a passion for cars and motor racing as well as flying. One of Derbyshire’s most successful businessmen, Charles sadly passed in 2015. He is succeeded by his sons David Clowes as chairman, and Thomas Clowes as managing director of the group. We’ve achieved our success with a small yet dedicated and fully integrated team, whose strength lies in their desire to live and breathe each and every project. This approach has also allowed us to retain an uncluttered hierarchy and streamlined structure geared towards agility, flexibility and speed of response. All of this means that when opportunity knocks, we’re ready to respond, quickly and decisively.
