where it all started

Our Story

Formed in 1972, by Chairman John J Whelan, Natta Building Company is a privately owned Limited Company. John learnt the business from the ground up starting as a pipe-layer and ground-worker before trading in his shovel for a JCB.

HUMBLE BEGINNINGS

STARTING OUT

From those humble beginnings, Natta quickly gained a reputation for being able to tackle complex groundworks. First major contract awarded at British Car Auctions in Blackbushe. Today, Natta still adopts those ‘hands-on’ principles which were responsible for its early success.

expanding the family business

1992

John E Whelan joined the family business in 1992. After many summer holidays working on site, he graduated from university before becoming part of the Natta team. Following in his father's footsteps, he worked his way up whilst developing an in-depth knowledge of construction. He learnt all the aspects of work required to deliver a successful project.

construction industry safety training centre

2004

In 2004, John E Whelan added a construction training business, CISTC. Understanding that one of the keys to success is the need for highly-skilled workers - how best to ensure this than by training and growing our own talented workforce. Today CISTC not only provides Natta employees with the skills they need but also offers a wide range of construction courses directly to the industry.

2017

Following on from the success of CISTC, we noticed that within the Surrey and West Sussex area there was a direct need for companies within the construction industry to improve their staff training and development. To help bridge this gap, partnering with CITB, in 2017 the Surrey Training Group was formed.
