History

The company was founded as a family building business in 1877.[1] It changed its name to F. & E.V. Linford in 1925 and again to Linford Group in 1970.[2]

The company often worked with the local community to build a suitable skillbase for potential future employees to be drawn from, recruiting from local schools and offering employee exchange programmes with other overseas businesses. During the early 2000s, it established a new training center for learning heritage restoration skills.[3][4]

It acquired metalwork restorer Dorothea Restorations in 2007, and the following year bought plasterwork business Trumpers.[5] Amid the Great Recession, the company opted to increase its presence in the homebuilding sector.[6]

During October 2011, it was announced that Linford Group was to be placed into administration as a result of a series of bad debts that had been incurred.[7][8]
