When Tom Frain founded Wrekin Construction in 1960, he took his inspiration for the name of his fledgling company from Shropshire‘s most famous hill and landmark – The Wrekin. The name represents the solid foundations and core business ethics which he believed his company should follow.

Recognised by the industry for pioneering change and implementing best practice, the company continues to evolve, combining changing methods and technology with traditional values, business integrity and skills development.

In 2007 Wrekin Group and Wrekin Construction was aquired by David J Unwin (Chairman), David G Unwin (Director) and John Woodcock (Joint Managing Director), ending the 47 year ownership by the Frain family, and is now a member of Tamar Group Ltd.
