A rapidly growing construction company based in Weston, Evolution Developments Southwest Ltd, founded by former professional rugby players, is making waves across the Southwest of England. Known for its focus on mental wellbeing and people-first values, the award-winning firm is creating new job opportunities and redefining workplace culture in the construction industry.
Although a relatively new player in the market, Evolution Developments Southwest Ltd has already earned a reputation for exceptional craftsmanship, outstanding service, and a progressive approach focused on its workforce.

“We’re growing because people appreciate not only the quality of our builds but also the positive culture and energy we bring to every project,” said Jake, co-founder and former professional rugby player. Jake and his brother Josh, also a former Bristol Bears player, established the business after confronting the challenges of elite sport and mental health firsthand.
Evolution stands out for its expertise in combining construction, maintenance, and development. Their portfolio includes residential and commercial projects such as loft and garage conversions, kitchen and bathroom installations, full property renovations, and landscaping.
What truly distinguishes Evolution is its dedication to nurturing people as much as structures. The company emerged from a shared passion to transform the construction industry by replacing old-school negativity with a culture of mental wellbeing, teamwork, respect, and career development.
“Having faced significant mental health challenges ourselves,” Jake explains, “we’re committed to creating a company where employees feel valued, supported, and empowered to thrive.”
The firm fosters a positive, futuristic work environment where apprentices, tradespeople, and seasoned professionals are encouraged to grow and succeed.
Currently, Evolution is hiring skilled tradespeople and professionals across construction, maintenance, and development disciplines. The company offers competitive salaries, performance bonuses, career progression opportunities within a fast-growing enterprise, engaging projects that make a meaningful impact, and a respectful, supportive workplace culture.
“This is only the beginning,” Jake emphasizes. “At Evolution, we’re not just building homes – we’re building futures.”
