December 2010 NEWS Building on a long-established reputation


CHARTERED Building Contractors RG Spiller Ltd, established in 1840, has three strategically-located offices in Chard, Amesbury and Exeter. They work primarily in


Devon, Somerset, Wiltshire, Dorset, Avon, Hampshire, Gloucestershire and Berkshire in many sectors from minor


works and planned and response maintenance contracts to major projects up to £7m.


One hundred and seventy years ago, things were very different. There were no cranes or diggers - just men with pick-axes, shovels and muscles. But change was


coming. The expanding railway network brought with it better materials and new technology presented larger, improved equipment. The construction industry has never looked back!

building contractors business in Taunton in 1840 and it soon became recognised as one of the best and largest building firms in the West of England. Following his death, Henry J Spiller successfully carried on the company and in 1908 his son RG Spiller further extended the business. In the first year of the


Second World War, over 100 members of the staff joined His Majesty’s forces. During this period, the firm carried out contracts for the Air Board; the Admiralty; the Office of Works; the War Office; the Board of Agriculture and various Red Cross Stations.


The war years saw a huge demand on the company’s construction services in building defences, converting factories and modifying buildings all over the West Country.


National service meant the labour force had to be replaced with ingenuity and extra hard work. Today RG Spiller Limited maintains its traditional values whilst constantly moving with the times and the company is as robust as ever.


In the last 12 months, they


have received a Considerate Constructors award and are bucking the current economic trend with the opening of their Devon office at Exeter Business Park. The company has secured


some excellent projects during the course of the year in many sectors including:
