About us
G D Harries & Sons is just that - a family business
based in Narberth, Pembrokeshire. Established by
Gerald Harries in 1977 and now run by his son Ian,
who with vision, determination and heart, has forged
the business we are today - a large scale operation
fully employing high-calibre people, many of whom
have grown with the company over the years.
Our values
We are committed to the local workforce and long-term sustainable
employment: our workforce is committed to our continuing success.
Now a big company in every sense, we have taken care to retain our
family values. People, our customers and our staff and the trust
between them, are at the heart of our operations, and the key factor
in our success.
Our development
Originally a haulage business, we have evolved organically and our
growth has been triggered by customer needs. Through wise capital
investment, including the acquisition of our quarry in 2000, our tarmac
plant in 2008, and expansion into other product and service areas, we have the capacity to undertake high value contract work across a
wide range of sectors.
Our vision
Our name is highly regarded and we are respected for the quality of
our product and service and we are proud of the fact that 90% of our
business is from repeat clients. Our vision is to continue to retain our
existing customers and to be the supplier of choice in the area. We
understand that continued positive customer experience will determine
this goal. We will strive to work towards continuous improvement and
put in place appropriate processes and procedures to enhance customer
experience so we continue to grow our reputation as a leading and
respected provider in our areas of business.
