About Us



Stephen Easten Building Limited employs over 100 staff and continues to maintain the high standards set by its original founder. The company comprises two main divisions:

  • Contracts Division
  • Minor Works & Maintenance 

We are proud of the reputation we have earned for quality service and our open approach with clients. This reputation is reflected by the number of clients with whom we are associated, many of them having been long term partners for a number of years. We value and respect these relationships and we enjoy providing each of our clients with practical solutions that fulfil their needs.

Stephen Easten Building recognises that the major source of its strength lies with its employees. We are proud of our people, and we value them as our most important asset. We carefully select prospective members of the Stephen Easten Building team to ensure that only those who embrace the same fundamental values and vision of the company become employees. This principle is vitally important if we are to maintain our core business objectives to deliver customer focused quality service.

In May of 2006 the company became part of Esh Group - the largest indigenous construction group operating in the North East of England.

Today, the management team, led by Managing Director Robin Purves, works together as an integrated and effective well tuned unit. Robin is supported in the team by managers for both divisions; a Minor Works & Maintenance and Construction as well as a Commercial Manager, Contracts Managers, Site Agents, and Esh Group Central Support Services, to ensure that the best service is delivered to the highest standards of customer care.
