In terms of project size, McHugh Steel is currently set up to deliver everything from small custom builds through to large-scale developments, with recent examples including hospitals, childcare facilities, and food centres. According to Demi, clients of all kinds choose McHugh for the same reasons – including the quality of their work, the reliability of their service, and their ability to customize their products to meet their clients’ needs. “What sets us apart is that we don’t just supply steel,” she says. “We provide complete solutions, from design through to delivery and installation.” As a result, McHugh Steel has been able to build some very strong and lasting relationships with clients and contractors. According to Demi, some of those relationships go all the way back to the early 90s. To this day, she says the majority of the company’s work comes from repeat business and referrals. The company also fosters similar loyalty in house. Demi says they have grown a lot in recent years, which means they have a lot of newer team members, but they also have team members that go back almost 20 years. “We’re a family business, and that really defines our culture. We’ve grown significantly over the years – now employing a large and diverse team –but we’ve worked hard to maintain that closeknit, supportive environment. There’s a strong focus on safety, development, and making sure people feel valued. We want people to build longterm careers with us, not just jobs.” McHugh Steel’s supplier relationships are also longstanding. Demi describes those relationships as “absolutely critical to our business.” “We work closely with key suppliers of materials like COLORBOND® and ZINCALUME® steel, and we’ve built strong, long-term relationships across subcontractors and service providers. Those partnerships allow us to maintain consistent quality and reliability across our projects, which ultimately flows through to better outcomes for our clients.”
