About Us

GENCO was established in 2006 when it was identified that there was a demand for a reliable contractor to provide reactive, planned and preventative maintenance services within the retail sector.

For many years, three simple words summed up what we did: Build. Maintain. Renew. While our business has grown far beyond those three words, the philosophy behind them remains part of who we are. As we proudly celebrate 20 + years of trading, Genco remains true to the values that shaped the business from day one. Our services, geographical reach and capabilities have evolved, but our commitment to quality, service and long-term relationships has never changed.

Following Jack Russell’s retirement, Genco remains guided by the same values, ambition and commitment to excellence that have shaped the business since its inception. Sonny Russell, a Director since 2022, began his career as an engineer and progressed through the organisation into senior leadership. His progression reflects Genco’s longstanding belief that the strength of the business comes from its people, and its commitment to developing talent from within.

From Genco Construction to Genco UK Group

April 2026 marked an exciting new chapter in our story with the launch of Genco UK Group, bringing together Genco Construction Services, Genco Fire Safety and Genco Mechanical & Electrical Services.

Our expansion into Fire Safety grew naturally from the services originally delivered through Genco Construction. As this area of the business developed, the decision was made to create a dedicated Fire Safety company, enabling the specialist team and service offering to continue to grow in its own right.

The formation of Genco UK Group, incorporating Construction, Fire Safety and Mechanical & Electrical Services, allows each business to develop its own specialist expertise while retaining the strength, experience and shared values of the wider Genco family.

Together, we can provide clients with a trusted partner across construction, maintenance, fire safety, mechanical and electrical services and compliance, while continuing to offer the responsive and personal service on which Genco has built its reputation.

Proud of Where We Work and How We Work

Our head office in Maidstone, Kent, represents another important milestone in the Genco story. Built from the ground up by Genco, our offices sit proudly within the Maidstone landscape and provide a home for our growing team that we are immensely proud of. But Genco has never simply been about buildings, projects or numbers.

Our people are at the heart of everything we do. Despite growing to more than 100 employees, we have worked hard to retain the close-knit culture on which the business was built. We want everyone who works at Genco to feel part of the family, not simply another employee or a number. That sense of belonging, teamwork and looking out for one another is every bit as important to us today as it was when the company began.

Those principles are now captured in our Group values, EPICA: Excellence, Partnerships, Integrity, Culture and Accountability.

From two founders with a vision in 2006, through the growth of Genco Construction Services, to the launch of Genco UK Group in 2026, our journey has been shaped by hard work, dedication, strong relationships and a determination to do things the right way.

Twenty years on, we are incredibly proud of how far we have come, but even more excited about where we are going next.
