The firm has received a cash boost to support its new fleet
A Doncaster-based civil engineering and surfacing contractor is targeting growth after securing a significant six-figure finance package with help from specialist business finance broker PMD Business Finance.
SGH Civils and Surfacing Ltd, which is headquartered in Denaby Main, has secured a substantial asset financing package to support its investment in new fleet, including commercial vans and heavy construction vehicles.
The established company, which can trace its roots back to the mid-1990s, was formerly known as Eco Power Civil Engineering Ltd and recently rebranded as SGH following a 2025 management buyout of the business by Shaun Hardisty which saw it separate from the wider Eco Power Group.
SGH, which has 30 staff, undertakes a wide range of civil engineering projects across the Yorkshire region in the commercial, industrial, residential and infrastructure sectors while also partnering with local authority and private sector clients across the UK on surfacing projects.
Mr Hardisty said: “Our new identity reflects our ambition to build on the strong reputation the business has developed over many years.
“We remain committed to operating from our base in Denaby Main and continuing to support projects across Doncaster and the wider Yorkshire region.
“Since we completed the management buyout in August last year, our focus has been on investing in the growth of the business.
“We have invested £400,000 in a new fleet of commercial vehicles and added to our yellow plant fleet, ensuring we are fully equipped to deliver high quality civil engineering and surfacing services for our clients while continuing to support local employment.”
In addition to the asset financing solution to support the acquisition of the new plant and machinery, PMD were able to utilise the Government Growth Guarantee Scheme to provide additional growth capital whilst also facilitating a significant asset refinancing facility to reduce on-going monthly debt commitments.
Kai Wynne-Jones, structured finance director at PMD Business Finance, said: “We’re delighted for Shaun and his team as they embark on this exciting new chapter following the management buyout.
“We are pleased to have provided a bespoke funding solution that not only meets SGH’s current needs but also supports its ambitious growth plans and we look forward to supporting the team as they continue to drive the business forward”
Shaun added: “We’re incredibly thankful to PMD Business Finance whose advice and support has been invaluable in ensuring we can access the funding options that were right for us and our future growth needs.”
