History

FM Conway's surfacing division working on London Bridge

Founded in 1961 by Francis Michael Conway (grandfather of the current CEO and chair),[1] 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.[3] The company was based in Dartford, Kent, but moved its headquarters to Sevenoaks in 2016.[4]

In February 2020, FM Conway was suspended from the Prompt Payment Code for failure to pay suppliers on time.[5] It was reinstated in August 2020 after process improvements."[6]

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).[7] Twelve months later (March 2023), the firm's turnover topped £500m, reaching £535m due to inflation and new work wins.[2] The company was ranked as the UK's 41st largest contractor by turnover according to Construction News.[1]

In May 2023, FM Conway bought Essex-based drainage contractor Flowline out of administration, saving 164 jobs.[8]

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.[9]

In October 2023, FM Conway undertook repairs to London's Millennium Bridge during a three-week closure.[10]
