Stepnell is celebrating remarkable growth in Bristol, underpinned by a diverse portfolio of public sector projects that reflect its commitment to quality and sustainability.
Since establishing a presence in the city, Stepnell has grown its Bristol team from an initial five employees to more than 25, reflecting the rapid expansion of its operations in the South West.
With a focus on public sector projects, Stepnell has delivered schemes across the healthcare, education, and residential sectors. Highlights include major contributions to Bristol City Council projects, partnerships with University Hospitals Bristol and Western NHS Foundation Trust, and the ongoing delivery of education facilities such as New College Swindon.
Jon West, business development manager at Stepnell, said: “Opening the Bristol office was a natural progression for us, driven by the growing opportunities in the region. In the last two years, we’ve established strong partnerships with local authorities, healthcare providers, and educational institutions.
“Our commitment to delivering sustainable solutions, including renewable energy and in-house joinery expertise through Step Energy and Stepnell Joinery respectively, positions us as a trusted partner for ambitious projects. Looking ahead, we’re excited to continue making a positive impact on Bristol and its surrounding areas.”
In total, Stepnell is set to oversee projects worth £50 million in the coming year, further consolidating its position as a key player in the region.
Stepnell’s residential projects in Bristol feature energy solutions, including solar, air-source heat pumps, ground source heat pumps and EV charging points, reflecting the company’s dedication to sustainability. Projects in Bristol routinely require the support of our in-house expertise, including Lawford Bespoke Joinery and Stepnell Plant. The company’s financial stability and family-run ethos have also contributed to its success, providing reassurance to clients and enabling long-term investment in the community.
Future growth for the Bristol office includes expanding along the M5 and M4 corridors into Somerset, Bath, and Swindon. Stepnell’s collaborative culture and dedication to training have also been a significant draw, with the team welcoming apprentices and graduates into its ranks, while supporting individuals on rehabilitation training programmes, showcasing the company’s inclusive approach to workforce development.
Rob Speirs, regional director at Stepnell, said: “With a healthy project pipeline extending into 2027, Stepnell is well-positioned to continue thriving in Bristol and beyond.”
