Community
"Our greatest strength and most valuable asset is our people!" Alan Smith, MD Smith's (Gloucester) Ltd
'Many of our people have been with the company for a long time. It is their experience and knowledge which allows us to meet our customers' needs. Practical experience comes from doing the work. Each completed project or finished job further improves our knowledge, experience and expertise of the industry.'
Smiths are a family company, owned and run by the Smith family since the business began in 1982. They are still wholly committed to the business with two generations actively involved day to day. This engenders a community culture which rewards hard work, teamwork and a commitment to customer service that can be lost in larger corporate structures.
Customer Service - ensuring our customers are delighted with our work, impressed by our people and certain to use Smiths again.

- Smiths Construction and Demolition ensures that all recyclable material created by their projects is transferred to Moreton Valence for processing. If appropriate, up to 100% of waste material can be recycled and reused on site, cutting down on CO2 emissions from transport to the facility. The resultant aggregate and soils are reused within our construction projects.
