Caribbean Consultants Ltd. had its beginnings as a holding company for the construction company formed in Barbados in 1973 when Angus and Richard Edghill, both Civil Engineers started Edghill Associates Ltd. They were awarded contracts to construct bridges, warehouses, hotels, and office buildings in Barbados, and expanded throughout the Caribbean, specializing in marine projects during the 70s and 80s.

From the early 90s onwards, while the construction arm of the company continued projects outside of Barbados, Caribbean Consultants Ltd. went through a period of local expansion.
