Past, Present & Future

1925

Alec & Sidney Newland

The Company was founded by Alec & Sidney Newland in 1925. Situated in Wood Green their combined trades as Plumber and Carpenter allowed them to initially work for the Waterboard.

They employed approximately 25 men most of whom reached the site by motor-bike, using their sidecars to transport materials.

Having established themselves as Main Contractors they then diversified into property development. Many properties in Potters Bar and Brookmans Park were designed and built by Newland Brothers (see picture of Billy Lows Ad).

1961

Keith & Trevor

Sidney’s sons, Keith & Trevor, continued the family tradition by setting up an office and yard in 1961, at St Vincent’s Way, Potters Bar.

Initial contracts included building sub-stations for the E.E.B. and small projects for the Local Authorities. They then expanded to undertake works of greater cost and diversity.
