Our Story.

When Charles W Clowes founded the CWC Group on 17^th September 1964, he did so on the guiding principles of honesty, integrity, passion and innovation. That DNA still runs deep throughout the company, influencing our decision-making over half a century later.

Charles diligently built a substantial property and development portfolio, encompassing industrial, office, retail and residential properties across more than 120 sites. He also had a lifelong passion for cars and motor racing, as well as a keen interest in flying.

One of Derbyshire’s most successful businessmen, Charles sadly passed in 2015. He is succeeded by his sons David Clowes as chairman, and Thomas Clowes as managing director of the group.

We’ve achieved our success with a small yet dedicated and fully integrated team, whose strength lies in their desire to live and breathe each and every project.

This approach has also allowed us to retain an uncluttered hierarchy and streamlined structure geared towards agility, flexibility and speed of response.

All of this means that when opportunity knocks, we’re ready to respond, quickly and decisively.
