The Holcan Group was formed on 25th August 1958, with the incorporation of our mother Company Castle Marketing Group Ltd, by the late Joseph James Holliday.
During the last 64 years the Holcan Group has achieved many important milestones and incorporated various other Companies into the Group, always in pursuit of excellence and new business opportunities. The Group continues to be a family owned and run business, where personal relationships play a key role in the success, over many years.
Since my departure from politics in December 2011, the Holcan Group has focused substantially on people, infrastructure and technology, which together with its commitment to delivering quality service to its customers, places the Group in a strong position to meet the challenges of a business in a dynamic and fast moving world in the various area it specialises in.
Corporate governance has always been of immense importance. The Group has always acted with best practice and guidelines, through adopting proper standards of business practice and procedures and by expecting all executives and employees to uphold the highest ethical standard of honesty, integrity and fairness.
I would encourage you to browse through our website and learn more about our Group. Thank you for visiting our site.
