Russell WBHO takes great pride in the high quality of service delivery and client satisfaction. Key to that success is developing close working relationships with clients and adding value to projects. The team can offer design, installation and project management of structural, architectural, mechanical and electrical services.

The merger of two successful businesses – Manchester based Russells Construction and global construction giant WBHO – formed Russell WBHO in 2018, a landmark moment to support the growth ambitions of both companies. Russells Construction was established in 1997 by Andrew and Gareth Russell. The company started with external works and industrial property contracts before moving on to commercial office space, logistics, residential, retail and leisure.

Russells Construction made a name for itself with further expertise in high rise development of constrained city centre sites, hotel development and student accommodation schemes. Founded in South Africa, WBHO was first established in 1970 as Wilson-Holmes. Following a number of mergers in the subsequent four decades, the group WBHO construction emerged in 1996.

WBHO is the largest construction company in South Africa and the group has one of the largest construction footprints in the southern hemisphere and an enviable global reputation, working on some of the world’s most high profile construction projects. We are commited to creating long-term value and excellence for our customers by understanding their goals and delivering construction perfection through comprehensive, innovative solutions that will exceed their own expectations. Every business has its own ethos and here at Russell WBHO this is embodied in our six core values.
