Cast were established in 2020 by founders Zoe Moss, Etain Neary and Steve Gayle. The trio had a shared philosophy and vision to create a business which would ‘rise above’ our soon to be peers, by taking a special approach to delivering office fit out. From day one, our 3 founding principles were established and a shared promise to uphold these wherever the journey ahead may lead!
By March 2023, despite a global pandemic, Cast had grown from the 3 original founders into 4 distinct businesses within a group structure turning over almost £36m across the group in our 2022-23 financial year.
Based on secured pipeline, this is projected to grow further to £45m in 2023-24. This growth emanates from a constantly evolving and secured pool of landlord’s and asset owning organisations, and our desire to be a market disruptor.
We are always seeking the happiness of our clients, its intrinsically linked to our success as a business. Our method to deliver upon this is typically unconventional in business – we are a true open book. Whether it’s a framework, measured rates or conventional procurement we will always strive to offer an edge by providing genuine added value and honesty.
More than just working together, we seek to be involved with a client as early as possible in a project, and then on to many subsequent schemes as a trusted partner. Over 85% of all of our projects are negotiated with our expanding client base – testament to our commitment to creating lasting relationships through repeated, quality, valuable work.
For every action there is a reaction, and for this reason we act honesty, ethically and remain constantly conscious of the outcomes of our choices. We strive to ensure that all outcomes are positive, for our clients and end users, our supply chain and ultimately our communities – both local and global.
With all founders from unrepresented groups at board level, we have strived to create a diverse team. 35% of our permanent staff are female, against a construction industry average of just 14% (GoConstruct). We are fully aware that it is our people that are our differentiators, and we consistently encourage our contributors to challenge the ordinary.
Whether traditional specification and drawings or a turnkey proposition, we are uniquely placed to offer a range of fit out services to our client base. Be it a £30k day two amendment right through to £8m design and build operational net zero scheme. We seek to provide fit out services to the owners of sustainable premises whom want to work with like minded individuals.
In our quest to minimise our impact on our one and only home, we monitor emissions as a business and offset these through Gold Standard verified schemes. To date, Cast has offset over 700 tonnes of carbon and planted over 24,000 trees. Our three stage approach to delivering carbon neutral fit out is detailed further on our Sustainability page.
