Company profile: Stephenson--frames at their best From: Concrete | Date: January 1, 2003| Author: Anonymous | Copyright The Concrete Society Jan 2003. Provided by ProQuest LLC.Copyright information

Stephenson is an atypical contractor and, although not as well-known as some contemporaries, should definitely be viewed as being in the same league. The company is unusually structured. Having no big overheads, it can achieve greater flexibility. Stephenson's concrete frame business turns over around 35m a year and is committed to the whole process of marketing concrete and hybrid reinforced concrete frames. With its involvement in concrete research, it is determined to win back market share...
