This is a family run business which is now into its third generation. Launched by Howard Sweet in 1979 as an interior and exterior decorating business, it soon grew into one of the leading construction businesses in the South West, operating across all sectors. To reflect this, in 2019 they rebranded from H Sweet and Sons, to Sweet Construct.
Their Civils expertise and ability to provide a total package service has seen them trusted by main contractors, Local Authorities, housebuilders and developers throughout the South West and Wales. An ambitious and growing business, they’ve also been appointed to multiple frameworks.
Sweet Construct operate with five core values:
Sustainable success – while results are important, they don’t believe it should be at the expense of the environment, communities or future generations.
Speaking our mind – employees aren’t afraid to constructively challenge each other and find a better way
Stronger together – they believe in supporting and inspiring each other, and collaborating as one TeamSweet
Trusted partner – Doing what they say they’ll do, and owning and fixing any problems
Safety – ensuring everyone gets home safe every day
Supporting the local community is also a key driver for Sweet Consulting. Their Sweet Support initiative is a £5,000 fund which allows local community groups in Bristol to apply for cash investment in their initiatives.
Other good causes the company contributes to include ‘One Tree Per Employee’ in support of tree-planting schemes across the UK, as well as holding staff events for nominated charities (which this year is Prostate Cancer UK). Meanwhile, during the COVID-19 pandemic, they supported Bristol Food Union to provide hot meals to front-line workers and disadvantaged communities.
