Handy Heroes Ltd
The concept of Handy Heroes was formed nearly 10 years ago as the founders, Richard Hughes and Matthew Hammond were transitioning from their careers as Royal Marines Officers. They wanted to bring some of the values drilled in during service life into the construction industry.
Our Values
Integrity
Standards
Respect
From this idea Handy Heroes Ltd was founded and employed largely skilled ex-military tradespeople and project managers to deliver thousands of maintenance and construction projects across London. However following sucessive lockdowns due to COVID-19 the decision was made to disband our maintenance team and focus on development activity.
We are pround to have been presented with a Gold Award from the MOD as recognition of the employment opportunities given to Veterans and Armed Forces Reserve personnel, an achievement that was also recognised by the Telegraph.
Handy Heroes Ltd is now focusing on larger development projects which are typically carried out on vacant properties for investors, developers and joint venture partners. You can view some of these projects here
We typically carry out the following types of project:
Change of use property conversions to residential
House subdivisions
New-build schemes

We continue to hold our key values of integrity, standards and respect, this does not mean that we don’t make mistakes but where we are wrong we will make sure that we put it right.
