1980s: Formation of H.M.Sully General Builders

In 1981 Howard Malcolm Sully, at the age of 24 decided to start up his own building company, thus called H.M.Sully General Builders. The company originally comprised of five employees (all of which still work for the company to this day!)

Howard started his bricklaying apprenticeship in 1972 at British Steel Orb Works, working his way up to Site Foreman. After completing his 4 year apprenticeship, Howard went for a years plastering, coving and artexing.

1990s: Worldwide Development

In the early 90's the Constuction Industry suffered a decline, so Howard decided to take his expertise to America, Germany, Holland and Ireland to work on development projects that at the time were more prosperous. This gave Howard vast experiences and knowledge of foreign developments that he has found beneficial incorporating into traditional british construction methods.
