Rydon Group

Formed in 1978, with headquarters in Forest Row, East Sussex, the Group comprises Rydon Construction Ltd; Rydon Homes Ltd, the property development arm of the Group; Rydon Maintenance Ltd and Ryhurst Ltd, the asset investment and management arm of the Group.

With four separate operating companies, each specialising in a different area of the construction industry, the Group is positioned to take on almost any type of project. A recent initiative has been the creation of a new regeneration brand, REAL, through which we are engaged in rebuilding run-down inner city estates and creating attractive, sustainable, new urban communities.

Despite the continued growth of the Group and our ability to tackle increasingly large and challenging projects, we continue to provide a working environment in which employees feel respected as individuals and where management at all levels is freely accessible to all.

This year, following a survey of company employees, Rydon was officially recognised as a First Class Company to work for by Best Companies, the independent organisation that has established itself as a leading authority on measuring workplace performance and best practice throughout the country.

In the same period, the company was listed in 164th position in the Sunday Times Top Track 250, a ranking of the best performing middle market private companies. Jointly, these accolades demonstrate Rydon’s ability to perform successfully as a business through a positive engagement with its staff.

Whether we are building new homes, social housing, hospitals or schools, our aim is to ensure that we are improving people’s lives for this and future generations. So we don’t just look at the structures we provide, we look at the environment and how best to protect and enhance it, at where people work and how they get there and at where families and children can enjoy the open air safely.

We can only really achieve this by employing people who care, and by treating each other with the respect that business colleagues deserve. We place great emphasis on the personal development journey of each individual, providing a wide range of training opportunities for ongoing career growth.

With over 30 years of success in working with like minded partners in both the public and private sectors throughout the south and south west, we think that our approach has something going for it. Our employer reputation not only matches but often exceeds larger rivals.
