Explore Malcolm Hughes:
The people, the history, the standard.

Malcolm Hughes is the geospatial partner for critical infrastructure: 50 years of surveying land, buildings, highways and rail for the organisations that can’t afford to get it wrong. We’re one of the UK’s largest Chartered Land Surveyors, with people based across England, Scotland and Wales, and a record built on Defence, Transport and Energy work where the margin for error is zero.

Here you can find out more about who we are: our history, the people who lead the business, the accreditations that back up what we say, and what it’s like to work here.

Our vision

Built for the projects that matter most.

We’re the geospatial partner organisations turn to when the project is too important to get wrong, wherever they are in the UK and whatever the sector. That means constantly investing in the latest equipment and technology, delivering projects on time and on budget for clients of every size, and building the kind of long-term trust that comes from doing the work properly, project after project.

How we work

Built to keep up. Built to last.

We invest constantly in the latest survey equipment and technology, so our teams always have the right tools for the job. Projects are planned carefully and delivered on time and on budget, whether the client is an individual homeowner or a national infrastructure programme. Same care, same attention to detail, whatever the size of the job.

Our people

Know the ground. Know the job.

Our surveyors are based across England, Scotland and Wales, so there’s always someone close by, whatever the site. Dedicated Survey Managers, each a specialist in their field, keep our quotes accurate and give clients an expert to talk to throughout. And every client has direct access to our senior management team, not just a case handler.
