About Carey Group
Our story began in 1969, when three brothers—John, Tom, and Pat Carey—moved from Ireland to London and founded PJ Carey Plant Hire (Oval) Ltd, a groundworks contracting business.
Driven by core values—caring deeply, acting with humility, passion for work, and authenticity—the Carey Group now remains a family-owned business operating across the UK and Ireland. From a modest goal of 50 operatives with safe, quality work, we’ve grown while staying true to our founding principles:
✅ Delivering promises with integrity ✅ Respecting our clients ✅ Intelligence construction solutions ✅ Safety and high-quality environments
Rooted in robust financial management, people investment, specialist equipment, and teamwork, we aim to be the most trusted and socially responsible construction company, where people are proud to work.
Our purpose is clear: "We care about our people and partners, how we work, our impact on communities, and the environments we shape."
