The Drayton Beaumont Group – Business of the Year and Growth Award entrant
The Drayton Beaumont Group has grown its turnover from £38.9million in 2024 to £70.6million in 2025 with a projected £75million turnover in 2026.
This growth has been driven by a combination of strategic acquisitions, operational innovation and a clear vision for the future of engineering and industrial services.
The formation of the Group in 2025 brought together Drayton Beaumont Services, JPR Group and Therser UK, creating a single organisation with a uniquely broad offer: mechanical and electrical engineering, design‑and‑build expertise, fire and security systems, facilities management, data and telecoms services plus specialist thermal and process engineering.
This integration has been a major driver of growth, enabling DB Group to offer clients a comprehensive, turnkey solution that few competitors can match.
Growth has also been fuelled by expansion into new markets and trading territories. While proudly headquartered in North Staffordshire, DB Group has extended its reach across the UK, opening a West Midlands office to support work in the south and preparing to establish a North West base to better service clients in that region.
This geographic expansion reflects both demand and confidence — clients increasingly seek long‑term partnerships with organisations capable of delivering complex, multi‑disciplinary projects at scale.
The decision in 2023 to invest in a cloud‑based financial system delivered significant operational efficiencies, enabling turnover to increase without additional staffing costs. This digital transformation improved financial visibility, streamlined processes and created a scalable platform capable of supporting rapid expansion. The result is a business with strong financial foundations, robust governance and the capacity to deliver sustained growth.
The group’s success is also reflected in the scale and significance of the projects delivered during the year. DB Group has played a key role in landmark developments across the region and beyond including the Stoke City Football Club training ground at Clayton Wood, the NCSG Institute of Technology in Stafford and now Capital & Centric’s Karparc development in Newcastle‑under‑Lyme — an innovative conversion of a concrete car park into residential accommodation. These projects demonstrate the group’s ability to operate at the forefront of the sector, delivering high‑quality, technically demanding solutions that push boundaries and set new standards.
A key factor in the group’s success is its commitment to developing its workforce of 173 employees. The launch of the Drayton Beaumont Academy in partnership with Newcastle and Stafford College Group in 2026 is a major milestone, creating a pipeline of skilled engineers and technicians for both the group and the wider sector.
The academy supports both new entrants and existing staff, offering opportunities for upskilling, professional development and career progression. Employees are encouraged to mentor apprentices, participate in training and contribute to a culture of continuous improvement. This focus on people development strengthens retention, enhances capability and ensures the group has the skills needed to deliver complex projects and support future growth.
The Drayton Beaumont Group has entered the Business of the Year and Growth Award categories of University of Staffordshire Business Awards.
