Rok plc, has its origins in the West Country where a number of local builders combined their efforts after the war to rebuild damaged properties. Its shares have been traded on the Stock Exchange since 1981 and last year it was the best performing construction stock.
The name Rok was selected in 2001 when the company was re-launched to reflect its desire to revolutionise the way people experienced the construction process - with an emphasis on service. Its aim is to become The Nation’s Local Builder™ with an office in every major town and city. Recent years have seen a succession of acquisitions to strengthen the core businesses and increase geographical coverage. Companies joining Rok are selected because of the strong reputation they have in their communities.
For the last 12 months it has won more work with social housing organisations than any of its leading competitors. It also specialises in the commercial, education, health and leisure sectors.
In the South West, Rok has offices in Truro, Plymouth, Exeter, Torquay, Poole, Taunton and Yeovil each of which takes a full and active part in the lives of the communities it serves particularly through Rok Community Challenges where deserving local causes are given practical help to improve their environments.
