From a small start-up harbouring big ambitions to a multi-regional supplier of groundwork infrastructure to the UK's leading homebuilders, our seven-year journey has been quite something.
Since establishing in 2011, our business has grown to a size and scale beyond our wildest projections – transforming from a team of less than ten, working from our MD's home-based office, to over 300 operatives across five regions.
What started as a local groundwork and civil engineering operation in our native Hampshire is now a thriving cross-county enterprise, responsible for creating the roads, foundations and essential underground sewer infrastructure that connect new communities across Britain.
Today, we're humbled to count some of the UK's more influential homebuilders among our core clients, and we're increasingly called upon to apply our groundwork expertise to multi-million pound developments taking place throughout Hampshire, Dorset, Berkshire, Surrey, and Sussex.
Owner and MD Mike Mayock establishes Mackoy in 2011 with nothing more than a handful of staff (and as many plant) with his home office doubling up as the nerve centre of our operations.
