FM Conway is a UK-based family-run civil engineering contractor specialising in highways and other infrastructure work.
History
Founded in 1961 by Francis Michael Conway (grandfather of the current CEO and chair), it has a network of asphalt and aggregate recycling manufacturing plants serving London and the south of England, as well as two Thames-side wharves, at Erith and Gravesend. The company was based in Dartford, Kent, but moved its headquarters to Sevenoaks in 2016.
In February 2020, FM Conway was suspended from the Prompt Payment Code for failure to pay suppliers on time. It was reinstated in August 2020 after process improvements."
In the year ending 31 March 2022, FM Conway had revenues of £478.1m, up from £338.2m in 2021, with much of the growth due to the March 2021 acquisition of Toppesfield, which brought an addition £80m of turnover. Pre-tax profit was down 13% to £17.2m (2021: £19.8m). Twelve months later (March 2023), the firm's turnover topped £500m, reaching £535m due to inflation and new work wins. The company was ranked as the UK's 41st largest contractor by turnover according to Construction News.
In May 2023, FM Conway bought Essex-based drainage contractor Flowline out of administration, saving 164 jobs.
Projects
In February 2022, FM Conway and subcontractors Freyssinet and Taziker Industrial were set to start work on the restoration of Hammersmith Bridge in west London.
In October 2023, FM Conway undertook repairs to London's Millennium Bridge during a three-week closure.
