McLaughlin & Harvey is a building and civil engineering firm founded in Belfast in 1853. It operates all over UK and Ireland from its head offices located in Mallusk, just north of Belfast.

History

[edit]

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]
