McLaughlin & Harvey is a building and civil engineering firm founded in 1853. It operates all over UK and Ireland from its head offices located in Mallusk, just north of Belfast.
History
Henry McLaughlin and William Harvey first established their business as builders and contractors in Belfast in 1853. The firm bought Barr Construction in 2007. [1]
In 2019, McLaughlin & Harvey Holdings had a turnover of £513.4 million. Its main subsidiary firms – McLaughlin & Harvey Ltd in Belfast and Trench Holdings Ltd in Scotland - contributed £268m and £245m respectively. [2] Turnover for the 800-strong group dropped in 2020, partly due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom, to £480m, with profit of £5.9m, down a half from £11.5m in 2019. [3] The company paid £2m in dividends in 2020 after claiming £2.2m of furlough cash from the UK Government's Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme. [4]
