Introducing JFW Construction


Founded in 1970, JFW Contruction Ltd is a hands on family business that has grown to establish itself as a highly professional building and civil engineering contractor. Client satisfaction has always been the ethos of the firm. This is achieved by a combination of prompt and efficient service, finish quality, adherence to health and safety restrictions and site rules, good people, site conduct and presentation, good client relationships and a non contractual approach.

As such we have successfully built up long term relationships and repeat business with a host of leading organisations across the commercial, industrial and local authority sectors throughout the North Of England.

The firm has seen several management changes in its history. Ron Cottier, the only remaining founding director retired in 2005. The company is now managed by sons, Terry Cottier and Barry Cottier (as directors) supported by Tony Cottier in the role of Contracts Manager.
