01782 237249 info@novussolutions.co.uk The History of Novus A Business Built on 124 Year Old Foundations Novus has a rich heritage in construction – underpinned by strong family values and a resolute social conscience. 1897 Novus traces its origins date back to 1897, when brothers George and John Seddon, left the coal mines and founded their own business, equipped only with a handcart, a strong work ethic, and their ambition. 1920s In 1920 G & J Seddon became a limited company and throughout the post-war era, they provided much needed employment for communities as well as their construction expertise during a time of recovery and rebuilding. 1960s - 1970s With the growth of social housing in the 1960s and 1970s, house building became a key focus for the Seddon business as their social conscience came to the fore. Over the years, the Seddon family name became synonymous with high quality, integrity and a willingness to quote competitively for work. 2009 Through hard work and strategic acquisition, the original small business grew into a much larger, diverse entity with separate divisions for construction, maintenance and plant hire. 2013 Following a reorganisation and restructuring of the Group in 2013, the John Seddon branch rebranded to become Novus Property Solutions Limited. Today, the company operates as an independent trading entity but still under the ownership of the Seddon family. The business is still governed and directed in accordance with those same strong family values and beliefs that George and John Seddon instilled into their company over a century ago.
