Who are The Casey Group?
The Casey Group is an award‑winning, Manchester‑based, family‑owned construction business with a clear purpose at the heart of everything we do: Improving Lives. We don’t just build projects – we create places that help people live, work, and thrive. Our passionate teams are driven by making a genuine and lasting difference, not only through the spaces we deliver but through the positive impact we leave behind in the communities we serve.
Our work goes beyond the built environment. We champion local employment, skills development, and sustainable practices, creating opportunities and better futures along the way. From apprenticeships and training through to supporting local charities and delivering safe, welcoming environments, people always come first at Casey. Our head office is based in a modern, purpose‑built building less than four miles from Junction 21 of the M62, offering excellent transport links while being set in the countryside, surrounded by picturesque reservoirs.
If you’re looking to be part of a business where purpose, people, and quality truly matter – and where your work helps improve lives every day – you’ll feel at home at Casey.

Known for operating successfully in live and constrained environments, the Land Reclamation team combines strong technical expertise with collaboration and problem‑solving to deliver practical, safe, and long‑lasting solutions. No two projects are the same, making the work both varied and rewarding, while always aligned with our core purpose of Improving Lives.
