Since JAO was founded in 2019, the company has seen exponential growth across the Southwest. Starting work as a groundworker upon leaving school, Jake Oaten decided to start up a company after he saw a space developing within the region. Since then, the company has grown from a small shed in Wellington. JAO now employs over 100 staff members and has completed numerous schemes for developers across Somerset, Devon, Dorset, and Wiltshire. JAO is now one of the leading groundworks and civil engineering contractors within the southwest, with no signs of slowing down!
Our success is rooted in four core values that guide every aspect of our work:
Integrity
We believe in honest communication, fair pricing, and following through on a plan promptly and professionally.
Excellence
We aim for the highest standards in everything we do, from site preparation to project completion.
Collaboration
We work closely with clients, contractors, and our internal teams to ensure seamless delivery and lasting partnerships.
Safety
Safety is always a top priority. Our commitment to continuous training and certification keeps our team at the forefront of industry best practices.
We believe that a huge part of our success comes from both the dedication and skill of our team. Each member of staff brings their professionalism, strong work ethic, and experience to each job every day. Our team includes project managers, site supervisors, machine operators, and groundworkers, all committed to delivering quality outcomes and upholding our company values. We provide comprehensive training to anyone joining our team, so you know every person working on your site is operating to the highest health and safety standards. It also means you can be sure that all the work we provide will be of a high standard and to your exact requirements.
