Maybe this doesn’t sound like your typical builder… there is a reason behind that!
About Us
The Swift family team
Swift Unlimited was created by husband-and-wife duo Martin and Cath Lawson, who bring over 30 years of shared business experience to the company. Their deep understanding of each other’s strengths and seamless collaboration form the backbone of Swift Unlimited’s success.
At Swift Unlimited, Martin and Cath remain hands-on in the day-to-day operations, ensuring the company’s core values are reflected in every project. Their commitment to a friendly, approachable service is designed to change the way you think about working with builders.
Based at Swift House in Adlington, Cheshire, Swift Unlimited is supported by a dedicated in-house team with an extensive array of specialists and professional consultants. Whether you’re planning a stylish garden office or a large-scale commercial development, we have the expertise to guide you through every step – from initial planning and design to engineering, environmental assessments, quantity surveying, and full project management.
With everything under one roof, Swift Unlimited delivers bespoke building solutions with precision, professionalism, and a personal touch.
Martin Lawson
It is truly rewarding to have helped make such a difference to so many people’s lives. Through the design and construction of literally hundreds of garden rooms and extensions all over the UK, we have made lots of friends and been a part of many family stories.
When we (my wife and co-director Cath) and I started Swift, I put on the work-boots and learned every element of the construction…hands-on. As the company grew and I became busier with the design, sales and administration of the business, this experience proved priceless in being able to clearly understand every element of the processes.
The creation of new designs is very rewarding to me, as are the tiny modifications that make a massive difference to a particular client’s enjoyment of their new space. Fortunately, I love driving, so the many thousands of miles visiting all parts of the country are usually a pleasure… though the M1 does sometimes test that emotion!
We tend not to have typical days at Swift…. an amazing team of people around me always make the day pass quickly – as do the rabbits, ducks, wild birds and (we think it may be) a stoat, that all live around our wonderfully located office next to a golf course.
At home, there’s nothing better than cooking up a special meal, especially with my two “sous-chefs” – our wonderful young grand-daughters!
Aren’t I lucky?!
Cath Lawson
My career path has always been enjoyable and extremely colourful! This is largely due to me remaining true to myself and changing jobs in order to move to another one that inspired and motivated me…A role I knew I would love more and embrace to the max.
Swift was no exception and was in fact the second business I set up, only this time it was with my husband Martin. I transferred my experience from previous industries, where working with the public – both pint-sized and adult – taught me that to be able to put a genuine smile on a client’s face was all that really mattered. From this simple achievement – everything else would prosper, succeed and grow.
Company values are extremely important to me and are in my humble opinion, the foundations on which any successful company is built. Once all staff understand these values and employ them in everything they do, I absolutely know that we have a team of valuable individuals who all have different talents and strengths to offer and are, without doubt, working for the benefit of all.
My behind-the-scenes role supports the Swift Team to all focus upon the satisfaction of their clients, through commitment, flexibility, integrity and resilience. Customer satisfaction is both at the beginning and end of our relationship with our clients.
Outside of Swift I am a very proud Wife, Mother and Grandmother and feel very blessed to also have a varied and valued circle of friends. I love socialising, going to the theatre, as well as partaking in amateur theatre productions and singing in an established community choir. I really am one lucky lady!

Hi, I’m Matt.
As Operations Director, I oversee all projects from initial ‘ideas’ right through to practical completion, ensuring each build is delivered safely, on time, and within budget. I also manage our fantastic installation teams across the UK, making sure they have everything they need to deliver your life changing space to the highest possible standard.
In a previous life, I served in HM Armed Forces, successfully completing two operational tours of Afghanistan and being involved in numerous exercises around the globe. This gave me a solid grounding in teamwork, leadership and adaptability – all of which are a perfect match for Swift’s collaborative and solution-focussed approach.
When I’m not at work, I’m lucky to have a wonderful wife and two young children who definitely keep me on my toes – and remind me how important it is to always be prepared!
Allan Reid
Hi I’m Allan, Head of Sales here at Swift. I look after everything sales-related, which usually means I’m the main point of contact for you, our potential client. Based at Swift HQ, I’m here to help with anything you need to move your project forward. Whether it’s a quick call or a Teams meeting, I’m always happy to assist.
At Swift, we work with amazing clients to create beautiful spaces—whether it’s for homes, hotels, golf resorts, or something completely unique. Luxury, creativity, and trust are at the core of everything we do.
Outside of work, I’m a big fan of sports, love hitting the gym, and enjoy eating way too much good food!

Hi I’m Sue…
Having spent 20 years of my working life heading a team in Learning and Development in a large Contact Centre, I have developed an excellent understanding of customer service. Building a trusting, honest and friendly relationship with customers was paramount. This experience equipped me with the skills and knowledge that I was able to transfer into my role at Swift.
My journey at Swift started in June 2015 and I continue to enjoy my job with more responsibilities.
My main role at Swift is Procurement Manager, ensuring that all components for procurement are ordered and in place for the build to begin on time and run to schedule. This involves effective communication with the installation teams on site, as well as keeping the clients posted of any developments. My favourite and most valued work tools are the essential telephone, brightly coloured Post-it notes, highlighter pens and not forgetting my cherished, purple calculator!
As a working/single of Mum of 3, work life balance is a high priority and I feel so fortunate to have this balanced perfectly with my job at Swift. Here we have a strong team of people who each have a variety of skills that complement each other. This is what really helps make our business a successful one and fosters great team spirit.
Jason Harcourt
As Senior Designer, I take your ideas and turn them into a clear and practical plan that fits how you want to use the space. I guide you through each stage, help you make confident decisions, and coordinate everything with the Swift team so the process feels straightforward. I have experience in garden room and leisure design, so I focus on accuracy, creativity and solutions that work in real life. If you enjoy golf and want the space to reflect that, or you simply want a comfortable place to work or relax, I make sure the design feels personal, carefully planned and right for you.
