Newcastle-based, True North Construction, is celebrating a landmark year, with its workforce doubling from 14 to 30 employees, alongside a 60% increase in turnover.
The rapid growth reflects the company’s expanding residential and commercial project portfolio, alongside a strong commitment to team culture and its position as an employer of choice.
Founded in 2019, True North Construction has quickly established itself as a trusted provider of full turnkey construction solutions, delivering both contemporary and modern high-end extensions, refurbishments and bespoke new builds across the region. Additionally, it stands out as one of the few regional and awardwinning specialists in the construction of certified Passivhaus homes, demonstrating its commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency.
This dedication to excellence was recently recognised when its bespoke residential project in Tynemouth was awarded Residential Project of the Year at the Constructing Excellence North East Awards 2025. It marked the second time in three years the company secured this honour.
To keep pace with its rapid growth, the company has significantly strengthened its senior management team, with experienced site managers, supervisors and project staff. Alongside this, it has expanded its joinery and bespoke interiors division to provide clients with enhanced craftsmanship and detail and has broadened its market focus beyond traditional residential developments, successfully securing contracts in the hospitality, healthcare, childcare and office sectors. This diversification underscores the company’s ambition to build a versatile and resilient portfolio.
Director, Steven Henderson, said: “Our growth has been fast but strategic and reflects the quality services we provide to our clients, many of whom have been with us since True North Construction was established in 2019. We’ve prioritised recruiting the right people who share our passion for quality and attention to detail. Winning the award for the Tynemouth project is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire team and the eye for detail that we put into all of our work.”
Director, David Roberts, added: “We have ambitious plans for the future. Doubling our workforce and turnover in the past year shows we’re on the right path and we’re just getting started. Our goal is to continue expanding our reach across the North East, attracting top talent and delivering sustainable, high-quality projects that make a real difference for our clients and communities.”
Looking ahead, the company has ambitious plans to undertake larger residential projects valued at over £5 million and to expand its commercial operations further. To support these goals, it is actively recruiting skilled professionals across multiple disciplines, including site management, project delivery and specialist trades.
True North works tirelessly to produce a high-quality bespoke finish, whilst managing the delivery of the project – on time, safely and within budget. It does this by developing close working relationships with its clients, other local trades and architects. It is passionate about the use of novel building materials and techniques and has vast experience working with environmentally conscious products.
Safety is the top priority, and the company adheres to the highest industry standards and implements rigorous safety protocols to safeguard its employees, clients and communities. Its commitment to sustainability drives it to incorporate environmentally friendly practices and materials whenever possible, contributing to a greener future for generations to come.
