Creating History Within the Construction Industry for More Than 50 years.

Princebuild Limited is a family-run business that has been caring for, maintaining and building properties since 1971.

Originally known as Eccleshare Construction Ltd, the company was founded by Derek Asplin and Stuart Pudney and was initially located on Princes Street in Peterborough. Over the years the company has consistently maintained an excellent reputation for reliability, efficiency, high quality and enviable customer relations. From the humble beginnings of its small Peterborough office back in 1971, Princebuild Ltd has extended its operations so that today it delivers a national, multi-disciplined service. In addition to the Peterborough head office, Princebuild also has branches in Spalding, Cambridge, London, Northampton and Market Rasen and also operates specialists divisions; Princeenergy and Princeinteriors. The company has remained a strong family affair, with Derek and Stuart’s sons Mark Asplin, Dale Asplin, Jon Pudney and Matthew Pudney now taking the company forward as shareholders, along with board members Paul Baker and James Manning. Mark and Dale also have sons working in the business two of whom have recently received promotions to Senior Project Managers. Founder Stuart Pudney commented “It has been amazing to watch the company develop over the years and both myself and co-founder Derek Asplin are proud of the business it has become. “I have had the pleasure of working with some fantastic staff and although admittedly it has been hard work at times, we have always pulled together as a team and got through it. Over the past year Princebuild have been celebrating their 50 year anniversary with staff and in the local community, setting an ambitious target of raising £50,000 for charities and good causes over the year. This target was surpassed by some margin and the money has gone to many community groups, charities and good causes in and around the Peterborough area. Princebuild has a reputation for caring about the communities they interact with and has always worked in partnership with them to make a positive impact – economically, environmentally and socially. Some of the highlights include; raising £28,000 with a glamourous fundraising evening featuring Toyah Willcox and Frank Bruno, fund matching several staff fundraising efforts from white collar boxing to 50 mile runs, working with PCRFM to highlight the work of community champions and donating to their causes to name just a few. In addition all Princebuild staff received a 50 year pin badge and a commemorative t-shirt, there was a staff draw held every month to win vouchers and the very first Princebuild Family Fun Day was held at Ferry Meadows for all employees and their families. Matthew Pudney, Director, commented: “We have had a great year celebrating our anniversary and providing support to our local communities, as we have always done.” The directors would like to thank the clients, employees, sub-contractors, supply chain, friends and families for sharing the company’s journey and for helping Princebuild become the successful company that it is today. Princebuild are not resting on their laurels however, construction is an ever changing industry and the business is constantly adapting to new opportunities and trends. They have a forwardthinking business plan for growth and improvements to their service offering that will secure a continuing and improved future for employees, clients and the business as a whole. villagetribune 53
