A Long Building Heritage
The firm of J.R. Buckett & Sons was started in 1881 by the present senior director’s great-grandfather. The family firm was built up by the late Mr E.A.J. Buckett and the late Mr R.H. Buckett during the 1950s and 60s to one of the largest family building firms on the Island.
Under the current ownership of Colin Hibberd, JR Buckett and Sons Ltd, have reinforced their reputation for their high-quality workmanship which has allowed them to undertake an array of building opportunities. These include speculative builds, heritage work, unique one-off house builds, alterations, and extensions, whilst not forgetting the smaller works, which they appreciate are the lifeline of any business. Not only do they offer a friendly yet professional service to prospective clients, but they also thrive on collaboration and teamwork, meaning that everyone shares a tremendous sense of pride upon the completion of a project.
Buckett’s success moving forward is ultimately dependent on being able to maintain a team of local skilled craftsmen and evolving with the changing times. Colin is supported by his colleague Peter Hailes and a strong management team all of whom are highly motivated. Collectively they all understand the importance of maintaining the high standards promoted at Buckett’s and the enviable reputation for producing quality work.
