Shields Plant and Construction is a family-run business with a proud history spanning more than three decades in the British construction industry.
Founded in 1993 by George Shields, the company began as a construction contractor, providing reliable building services to clients across England. Through hard work, strong client relationships and a commitment to quality workmanship, the business steadily established a reputation for delivering projects to a high standard.
As demand grew, George recognised the need for dependable plant and equipment to support construction projects. This led to the expansion of the business into plant hire, allowing Shields Plant and Construction to provide both construction expertise and modern equipment solutions under one roof.
Over the years, the company has continued to evolve, investing in machinery, personnel and infrastructure to meet the changing needs of the industry.
A Family Business Built on Experience
Following George’s retirement, leadership of the business passed to his son, Martin Shields, who took over day-to-day operations in 2021.
Martin has continued to build upon the strong foundations established by his father, overseeing a period of growth and development for the company. Under his leadership, Shields Plant and Construction has expanded its capabilities whilst maintaining the values that have guided the business since its inception.
Those values remain unchanged:
- Professional workmanship
- Honest advice
- Reliable service
- Quality equipment
- Long-term client relationships
- Commitment to safety and excellence
