About K.E. Hornby & Son Ltd
K.E. Hornby & Son Ltd stands tall as a heritage-rich building company tracing its lineage back to the early 1900s. The Hornby legacy began with Fredrick Hornby in 1901, evolving through generations until it was entrusted to Kevin Hornby’s father, D.E. Hornby.
Building Manchester’s History
Kevin, the torchbearer of this family heritage, collaborated with his father to nurture a sterling reputation across Manchester and the North West. Crafting homes and landmarks, the Hornby family left an indelible mark on the region’s architectural landscape.
Upholding Tradition, Embracing Innovation
From the resilient era of 1916 to the dynamic landscape of today, we’ve preserved the core ethos: “Joiner, Builder, And General Repairer of Property.” Kevin and his wife Sue took the reins in 1987, steering the business forward while honoring the century-old values.
Evolving with Time
Enterprising minds like Kevin’s son, Kyle, and our skilled team have expanded our horizons, venturing into surveying and commercial projects. Noteworthy among our recent endeavors is our involvement in the groundbreaking groundwork of the new Coronation Street set.
Building a Legacy for Tomorrow
As we step into the future, the next chapter of K.E. Hornby & Son Ltd is poised to be as storied and illustrious as its past. Stay tuned as we continue our journey forward!
