OUR HISTORY
Staffordshire Surfacing was established in 2014 by Keble Heath director Charlie Cooper with the aim of providing a dedicated surfacing service to the region. Recognizing the need for high-quality surfacing solutions, Charlie set out to create a company that would focus on delivering exceptional craftsmanship and customer service. Since its inception, Staffordshire Surfacing has built a strong reputation for its expertise in both hand lay and machine lay surfacing, catering to a diverse range of projects and ensuring client satisfaction at every stage. Check out the history of Keble Heath below.
Keble Heath Construction was originally set up in 1973 by John Cooper and Brian Springett.
Both John and Brian had formerly worked for Tarmac Contracting in charge of asphalt laying in the Stoke-on-Trent area and beyond.
Brian left in to pursue a career oversees, prior to setting up Springetts Tarmac Plant in Stoke-on-Trent and Springetts Surfacing Contractors.
His successor Peter Grossick broadened the scope of work Keble Heath undertook to include groundworks and drainage.
John Cooper retired from full time work in 1988, handing over the reins to Peter. John died in 1998, leaving Peter Grossick in sole charge with Stuart McCreedy as general foreman.
Stuart retired in 2001, being replaced by Johns son Charlie Cooper. Charlie arrived with a main contractor background working on large infrastructure and building projects mainly in the South West.
Peter retired in 2006 with Charlie Cooper becoming Managing Director.
David Goodier joined the team in 2006 as Contracts Manager and latterly as Director of the business. David bought a wealth of public highways experience with him, enabling the business to specialise in highway improvement works.
David retired in 2023, and Mehmet Colak joined in the same year as Works Manager.
Mehmet has already made his mark, embarking on introducing new technology and efficient systems to increase productivity which has led him to move into the position of Commercial Manager.
Paul Rezin has now taken on the role of Works Manager, being promoted from Working Supervisor after excelling in the role.
