Established in 1989 by our Executive Chairman, Charlie Spencer OBE, Spencer Group is one of the UK’s largest independent, family owned multi-disciplinary engineering businesses. We specialise in multi-disciplinary engineering projects, ranging from the design and build of green power stations, building capacity on the rail network and maintaining complex suspension bridges. We have a unique approach to engineering and a passion for delivering unique solutions. Our integrated approach includes capability in design, building, civils, track, slipforming, M&E, materials handling, electrification, controls and instrumentations. Our multi skilled experienced team allows us to deliver turnkey projects for our clients safely on time and to budget. Spencer Group employs around 350 people and we are recognised for our work in championing female talent within a traditionally male-dominated sector. In 2018 we were awarded the Medium Organisation prize at the Northern Power Women Awards. We are also proud to support the living wage and were the first engineering business to do so. We are passionate about maintaining good mental health having taken the “time to change” pledge. We promote this agenda through our active health campaigns, vary flex working and mental health support.
