WHO ARE WE

Our History,
Our Future.

Joe Manton began trading as a general builder in the Small Heath area of Birmingham back in 1898. He was joined by his son Edward in the 1930’s. The company remained under the ownership of the Manton family until the early 1990’s, when the business was acquired by Edward McMurray and Martyn Webb. The shareholding of the business was transferred to an Employee-Owned Trust in 2022 shortly before Edward’s retirement.

As a leading private contractors in Birmingham, our company directors have a ‘hands on’ approach to the day-to-day operations of the business. We are immensely proud to say that we retain multiple repeat clients, but ensure we treat every project, no matter the client, with the same level of care and co-operation. Our supply chain is key to everything we do, and we are a signatory to the prompt payment code. This, in turn, means suppliers are keen to work for us, and this is reflected in the competitive prices we can offer our clients.

This is the second major building project we have worked with Manton’s and on both occasions, we have found the experience to be very positive. The site manager working with us on this occasion has been exceptional in all aspects of his role and has shown consideration, friendliness, caring and a very good knowledge related to the needs of a school environment. We are really going to miss him as it feels like he is a member of our staff team.

E Manton as a company have been exceptionally easy to work with. Quality of workmanship was of a high standard and all the operatives that worked on the project worked in a professional manner and with pride. E Manton have been a pleasure to work with and I would have no hesitation in working with them again and recommending them to other NHS Trusts.

Please can I share with you that your team have been exceptional whilst working on the Eden (bereavement suite) renovation. We have kept our quiet room and office open during this time to reduce the disruption to bereaved families and the team have been respectful, worked quietly and kept everything clean and tidy along the way. They have communicated everything to us and updated us at every point and we have all been really impressed with their work and conduct and I really just wanted to say thank you so much to them.

The disruption to normal day-to-day school operations was extremely limited and very few lessons were impacted, which is very impressive given the scale of the project. We have a very good working relationship with Manton’s team throughout the project and the 3 gentlemen were an absolute pleasure to work with. They maintained excellent communication from Day 1 through to completion and the close working relationship with our site manager was incredibly positive. They are extremely hard working and professional throughout and are a credit to your company. Thank you, Manton’s.

Just want to pass on my thanks to yourself and the team for the efforts on the new scheme. Not only was this finished on time and completed on budget. The work of the Manton’s team was first class and I hope we get to work again with this team soon.
