A Somerset company is keeping a legacy alive through teamwork, dedication, and a shared sense of purpose.

LJC Design & Build, based in Baltonsborough, was taken over by Steve Carter after the sudden death of his father, Len, in 2023.

Determined to honour his father’s memory, Mr Carter, an electrician by trade, has kept the business running.

The hard work has paid off, with the company recently awarded a £300,000 contract to renovate the Savoy Apartments on London’s Strand.

Mr Carter said: "We didn't want the firm to go when dad died, because he’d have wanted to look after the guys, who’ve been with him for decades."

The company was founded in 1993 and employs a core team of five specialists, supported by additional tradespeople as needed.

Other recent projects include converting a former nursing home in Bridgwater into residential flats and launching the Fox & Vamp beauty boutique in Chelsea.

Laurie Oppeniem, a property developer in London who has contracted LJC on several projects, said: “Steve’s team make everything look easy.

"They have now done several home projects for me, and I cannot recommend them more highly.”
