About Us

A Brief

History of Hantall

Hantall Developments was founded in 1987 by Paul and Shaun Gregory creating a family-based team with expertise in the field of Industrial and Commercial construction and management.

Work through the late 80’s and early 90’s concentrated on new build and refurbishments within the nursing homes sector along with Industrial refurbishment, moving on through the 90’s into new build Industrial units, office refurbishments, hotel extensions / renovations, sports clubhouses and more recently developing as a specialist contractor within the automotive industry.

Today’s ever more demanding needs for quality, speed and cost-effectiveness are met by utilising a team of people who work ‘pro-actively’ with the customer, co-ordinating the project from conception to realisation, ensuring deadlines are met and standards are adhered to.

We meet today’s ever more demanding needs for quality, speed and cost-effectiveness by utilising a team of people who work ‘pro-actively’ with the customer, co-ordinating the project from conception to realisation.

Hantall have a vast amount of experience in the Commercial and Industrial construction sector having completed many prestigious car showrooms, office buildings, hotels, sports clubhouses, and Industrial developments around the UK.

Specialist residential projects are undertaken when the design of the property is unusual or complex and where high-quality finishes and specialist skills are demanded.

Hantall continues to grow and expand its highly skilled team and we look forward to delivering exciting, successful projects in the future.

John Wreghitt, Property Programme Manager, Inchcape UK

I have been in the construction industry for forty years and worked with numerous main contractors throughout the country but Hantall have proved to be the best.

Our new Audi Bolton Showroom was handed over snag free in June 2019 and the Final Account agreed £100,000 under the contract value four weeks later… this must sound perfect, they were!

Nick Morgan, Group Construction Manager, Jardine Motors

The whole team have, as I have come to expect following the numerous contracts we have been involved with Hantall Developments, performed really well and it’s a credit to all your staff that made JLR Derby such a success.
