40th anniversary for North Construction & Building

North Construction & Building is celebrating 40 years in business. Established in 1986 by Michael and Merle North, the company has since grown into a 100% employee-owned business committed to building with trust in regional communities.

Today, North operates from Tuggerah and Newcastle as well as Orange, Tamworth and Brisbane, delivering high-quality projects in the commercial, education, health and infrastructure sectors.

Reflecting on the milestone, Matthew Cook, Executive Chairman, said, “Reaching 40 years is a significant milestone that speaks to the trust and stability we’ve built with our clients, subcontractor partners and communities.”

“Our history is about the relationships we’ve fostered since 1986, and we plan to continue this into our future.”

John Melvin, Chief Executive Officer, added, “Forty years in this industry requires more than just technical skill; it requires strong relationships with our delivery partners.”

“Whether we’re building a Koala Sanctuary in Port Stephens or an iconic recently completed library in Gosford or a childcare centre in Brisbane, our relationship-focused approach always aims to deliver excellence with our partners.”

“As an employee-owned business, our people have always been our greatest strength,” said Nicole Redmond, Head of People, Culture and Corporate Services.

“Reaching 40 years is a proud moment for the entire North family, and there’s no better way to celebrate than by seeing our commitment to excellence reflected in the next generation.”

“By investing in our apprentice and cadet programs and building a culture of trust and respect, we’re actively building the future of the construction industry.”

North is hosting subcontractor and project partner events throughout the year, as well as a 40th Anniversary Gala Event at Crowne Plaza Terrigal Pacific in November.
