HISTORY
Malcolm Hughes Land Surveyors Ltd. was acquired by Ogilvie Group in early 2017. Ogilvie Group already owned the established names of Loy Surveys in Scotland, Longdin & Browning in Wales and Ogilvie Geomatics in England. In 2018, all four businesses were rebranded as one – Malcolm Hughes.
Loy Surveys
Loy Surveys were acquired by Ogilvie Group in 2006. Established in 1985, they have completed over 10,000+ surveys in over 30 years for a diverse customer base including contractors, architects, engineers, local authorities, estate developers, oil companies, utilities and central government agencies and departments.
Longdin & Browning
Longdin & Browning, established in 1975, were acquired by Ogilvie Group in 2014. The core business provided large topographical surveys, particularly in the Highways sector and the Environment Agency. Clear Cone+ is a specialised and patented service that offers combined mobile mapping and high accuracy surveying from unique van-mounted technology to provide monitoring and utility mapping for Highways across the UK.
Malcolm Hughes Land Surveyors
Malcolm Hughes Land Surveyors, acquired by Ogilvie Group in 2017, is one of the largest owner-managed land survey businesses in the UK. Operating throughout this area and Ireland from offices in Manchester and Livingston, and with surveyors based across the country, they have a vast client base. Malcolm Hughes offers all types of measured survey solutions including topographical surveys, measured building surveys and 3D modelling – recent large projects of note are the Mersey Gateway Bridge and the Glasgow Subway.
Ogilvie Geomatics
Ogilvie Geomatics was formed in 2014 with an office base in Milton Keynes. The purpose of this business was to establish a presence in London and the South East and have a common link with Loy Surveys in Scotland and Longdin & Browning Surveys in Wales. In 2017, the team was relocated to the existing Malcolm Hughes office in Rugby, offering more space and parking, and the business was absorbed into Malcolm Hughes Land Surveyors.
