We combine an in-depth understanding of archaeology with practical experience of major construction projects to keep you ahead of the game. Our proactive, friendly approach leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accurate estimating, minimised risk and effective national resourcing.
From fast-track rail projects and wind farm construction through to housing developments and off-shore cable-laying, we deliver against your critical path and your heritage responsibilities.
We were founded in 1996 and now cover the whole of the UK from four regional offices located in Luton, Hereford, Leeds and Edinburgh. Many of our contracts are valued at £1m-£5m and we regularly act as Principal Contractor.
We are a Registered Organisation of the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists. More importantly, though we study the past, we are a forward-looking and innovative business, keen to help our clients stay ahead of the game.

ABC our Core Values
Archaeology – our subject – interesting work done well
Headland contributes to archaeology through a combination of academic strength and a professional, business-like approach. We contribute to the advancement of archaeological knowledge and communicate our results in innovative and accessible ways.
Business – our clients – addressing their needs
We are a business and our clients’ needs come first. However, we believe it’s in our clients’ interests to engage in high quality archaeological work, which minimises delays, creates community engagement and achieves planning consent. Our job is to offer strategic and tactical advice to minimise your archaeological risk, and provide best-practice, imaginative and cost-effective solutions.

Headland benefits from employing talented individuals who share the company’s values and vision. We place a strong emphasis on job satisfaction and training within a culture of taking responsibility.
