History Henry McLaughlin and William Harvey first established their business as builders and contractors in Belfast in 1853. The firm bought Barr Construction in 2007.

Its main subsidiary firms – McLaughlin & Harvey Ltd in Belfast and Trench Holdings Ltd in Scotland - contributed £268m and £245m respectively. Turnover for the 800-strong group dropped in 2020, partly due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom, to £480m, with profit of £5.9m, down a half from £11.5m in 2019. The company paid £2m in dividends in 2020 after claiming £2.2m of furlough cash from the UK Government's Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme.
