About / Our story
A family firm, built on the work.
A family firm founded in 1997.
From 1997
The next generation carries it forward.
Mike started Dowson in 1997. Robbie joined at 15 and worked his way from the field into running the business. Now a second generation is building a strong base for the next.
Today we work on fibre and electric civils across Yorkshire and the North East. The new Pickering base is the next step for the company Mike started.
How we work
People first. The work follows.
Good kit, straight answers and support for people who show willing. This is how we’re building the company.
01
Back the people doing the job.
Invest in the training, tickets and equipment that help the crew do good work.
02
Give straight answers.
Say what we will do. If something changes, talk about it early.
03
Stand by the work.
From the route through to reinstatement, the job carries our name.
