Thrilled to be a civil engineering contractor to keep the UK’s main road infrastructure fit for purpose

“We are proud to have been chosen to deliver this work over the next six years as this gives our committed workforce confidence in our future.
“The work Claire and Suzie have done – not just on the bid, but also on the existing framework with National Highways – has been central to our success and they deserve high praise. We know they will run this for us with the same professionalism and enthusiasm over the coming months and years.”
Lorries and plant are a familiar sight on construction and highways projects across the region
The company, which started life in 1974 as a small plant and tipper hire business from its HQ in Marshfield near Bath, has grown to become a multi-million-pound earthworks, civil engineering, plant and waste management contractor. Its lorries and plant are a familiar sight on construction and highways projects across the region. Founders Mike and Paula Church are still involved in the company and their son Tom is the plant and transport director.
Sites including Marshfield and Chippenham

Civil engineer Claire has worked in the construction industry for 26 years and has been part of major projects like the Queens Jubilee Bridge in London.
A company that inspires and cares for its staff
She said: “I love my job and I’ve loved being an engineer from the very first day my career began. I was always interested in construction, went on to do construction at college and later a degree in civil engineering at the University of Plymouth. Working with the team at MJ Church has been wonderful, it’s a company that inspires and cares for its staff and I’m looking forward to leading the framework team through its next chapter.”
