Business founded by John Munro
With a committed client focus and exceptional quality standards, we have enjoyed sustained growth, year on year.
Founded in 1953 by John Murdock Munro, we have established ourselves as East Anglia's MEP contractor of choice.
With our Head Office in Cambridge, we expanded to Chelmsford in 2010 to support our increased client base, before joining the Bowmer + Kirkland Group of Companies in 2017 where we enjoy the privately owned family ethos that the Group maintain at their core.
We currently employ over 190 local people, have an industry leading apprenticeship programme, and are committed to supporting the local community.
We are a complete MEP solutions provider incorporating design, installation and maintenance services to a diverse sector portfolio.
