Eurogold History
2004
Eurogold established
Eurogold was established by Damien Brickland and Andrew Tomkins, who began working out of a small office in Golborne, Wigan.
2005
A flying start
Eurogold commences trading operations in the January of 2005, initially focusing on groundworks and civil engineering with contracts awarded from William Hargreaves. This early success helps to establish Eurogold and gain traction with other major house builders such as Bellway Homes with whom Damien already had a working relationship with. Bellway invited Eurogold to tender for three large sites, all of which were awarded to us.
Eurogold wins a £1.3 million contract with West Properties through a tender process.
Emma Cassidy is recruited into the business in September and ultimately becomes the company Managing Director
2007
A major new client
First Contract win from Red Row Homes
2006
New appointment and premises
Emma Brickland Ryan is recruited into the business and ultimately becomes the company Operations Director.
Eurogold purchases its first small unit in Paramount Business Park Huyton, which was the first of four units that would eventually become combined to form the entire block where we are currently located. This was a significant step for us as it allowed us to expand our operations.
2008
Housing market crash
All was going well for the company until this difficult period when the housing market crashed and recession took hold, Eurogold made strategic decisions to focus on breaking even and covering overheads rather than chasing profits that were no longer viable in a market where housebuilders had tightened their purse strings. This was a tactical move in order to retain all members of staff throughout the recession and keep business quality intact.
Eurogold contracted with William Hargreaves to perform commercial works for Aldi Supermarkets, and subsequently became the main contractor for the Northwest and North Wales regions.
2009
Investment for the future
Toward the end of 2009, Damien Brickland sought to expand the Eurogold portfolio and secured investments from independent sources to facilitate regrowth. Eurogold was able to pay back these investments within two years.
2010
Continued growth
With the recession behind us, Eurogold expanded into an additional unit in Paramount Business Park to accommodate the growing business operations.
2012
Improved operations
Eurogold expands premises again purchasing another unit in the Business Park allowing for the increasing headcount and capacity needed.
Eurogold starts developing its own software application, which streamlines communication between departments. Upon implementation, this significantly improved the material procurement process on our sites and enabled better progress tracking for our quantity surveyors and contracts managers.
2013
Inspiring Britain
Eurogold is selected and featured in the inaugural publication of the London Stock Exchange 1000 Companies to Inspire Britain, which is a list of the most inspiring SME companies in the UK. To be included in the list, companies had to demonstrate not only positive revenue growth over the past four years, but also increases in employee numbers, workspace, and contract wins.
Liam Shelly is recruited to run the procurement department and ultimately becomes Procurement Director.
2015
Largest new contract
Eurogold is awarded its largest contract to date for Red Row Homes at Ledsham Garden Village which was estimated to be worth £70 million. As of early 2023 value so far at £23m with works continuing.
Eurogold invested heavily in new plant and expanded into another unit in Paramount Business Park to accommodate its growing operational needs.

Eurogold was recognized as one of the Greater Manchester Fastest 50, which is a comprehensive list of the fastest-growing companies in the region.
2017
Record breaking revenue
Eurogold broke the £50 million revenue and £5 million EBITDA bracket for the first time.

Head office expansion
Eurogold expanded its offices once again by acquiring the final unit on the block and refurbishing the entire space.
Eurogold invested in its site staff welfare by purchasing onsite cabins to reduce hire charges.
Eurogold purchases its own fuel tanks for operational efficiency.
2020
Global pandemic
Before the pandemic, Eurogold had forecasted a £72.6 million turnover and was expecting it to reach £100 million by 2023. However, due to lockdowns and changes in the market, Eurogold had to adjust and change its strategy, and scale back to fall in line with new market forces.
2022
Solid foundation
Although still a lot of uncertainty within the market Eurogold holds a strong order book of £60-65m.
