About Us
The name of the Company derives from Walter Fernie Greaves who led the original partnership with distinction in the immediate post war years until the late 1960's. It is reputed that his middle name came from his family ancestral home, Fernie Castle in Fife, Scotland. The name continues to be maintained as a major representation of the present and an important link with the past.
During the last 150 years Fernie Greaves have been linked intrinsically with the Sheffield and Rotherham steel industries from the boom during the industrial revolution to the economic depression in the 1980's. The Lower Don Valley area of Sheffield is now experiencing a more positive outlook due to the continuing success of the Meadowhall complex, the completion of major sporting and entertainment complexes and the continued growth in its' office market. All of these markets and developments benefited initially from the success of the Sheffield Development Corporation but continue to prosper due to the proximity to junctions 33 and 34 of the M1 motorway.
