Pilbeam Construction - Member Case Study
What do you do?
Pilbeam Construction builds and manages large and medium-sized projects across Sussex and the South East, mixing traditional values with innovative techniques.
Having begun as a family business in 1955, we specialise in the commercial, health, education, heritage and residential sectors – with a reputation for offering personal service, a proactive approach and a loyal supply chain.
The company recently underwent a management buy-out which has seen long-standing directors Alan Corbett and Andrew Arrow take over the reins, with a vision to maximise the qualities our customers love so much whilst growing the business responsibly.
That includes meeting a growing need for affordable sustainable buildings that are good for the environment and delivered in a reliable time frame.
Our true USP is that our highly qualified 20-strong team regularly demonstrates an ability to deliver large-scale complex assignments, whilst retaining the collaborative approach and personal touch you associate with a family business.
Why did you join the Chamber?
- Valuing local connection across Worthing and Adur and building relationships in the region has always been a big part of the way Pilbeam works.
- Our business was born nearby in Southwick by our founder Alan Pilbeam nearly 70 years ago and we’re still there - and very proud of our roots in Sussex.
- By staying local we have got to know all the consultants, quantity surveyors and architects around East and West Sussex. So, we always know what’s going on – and of course we’ve built a lot of friendships and loyal clients, too. Working with the Chamber of Commerce is a big part of that.
What’s your favourite thing about being a member?
It’s all about meeting old friends, making new ones and keeping in touch with everything that is going on in the region.
Attending networking events helps build awareness of your business – and of course it can open up new business opportunities too.
