Proud to be doing things differently.

Embracing our past to support the future.

WE ARE COLEMANS

We’ve come a long way in 60 years. From humble beginnings in Birmingham, UK to a multi-award-winning contractor recognised on a global stage, Colemans have been at the forefront of market-leading, innovative changes in the deconstruction and demolition sector.

The company has been through some challenging times and we’ve used those experiences to help shape the safe, agile and skilled organisation that exists today. And we’ve never lost the personal touch – a true family business, in every sense.

With a new structure that gives us access to the latest technologies, we focus on what matters most today and for future generations; improving safety, supporting the environment and exceeding client expectations on projects of all sizes.

Colemans Commitment

It’s not what we do that makes Colemans different. It’s how we do it.

     

Collaborative

We work closely with clients, partners, suppliers, communities and other stakeholders to deliver the best possible results on each individual project.

Responsible

Aware of our responsibilities, we have built a strategy to minimise environmental impact and achieve our Net Zero target across all operations, including project delivery.

Progressive

We focus on technological and operational innovation to deliver efficiencies without compromising on quality.

Safe

Our mature safety culture is integral to our peoples attitudes and behaviours, which naturally promotes a safety first attitude that is second nature. This ensures that our peoples health and well being are respected and protected.
