Brickwork, scaffolding and drywall business Phoenix Brickwork has won a string of new contracts, pushing annual turnover to more than £25 million.
The Derbyshire company said the three biggest recent wins, in Nottingham, York and Birmingham, were valued at more than £3.5 million.
It represents another strong year’s trading for the business which was set up by Christian Watson a decade ago.
The biggest new contract, worth £1.5 million, has seen Phoenix team up with Clegg Construction to provide steel frames, drywall Internal partitions and ceilings as well as suspended ceilings at a new 188-bedroom, four-storey Premier Inn in Layerthorpe, York.
Down the road in Nottingham, Phoenix will provide the brickwork and internal blockwork for a new iQ student accommodation block for Galliford Try. A total of 85 new student flats are being created as part of an ongoing development with the contract worth more than £1 million to Phoenix.
The third largest contract –worth almost £1 million for Phoenix – was with Wylde Green Retirement Apartments for new client Adlington Retirement Living. Phoenix will provide a brickwork and scaffold package at the four-storey, 57-apartment development in Sutton Coldfield.
Further project wins this year include projects in Sheffield and Tamworth, with Phoenix’s team delivering fire-stopping work, external brickwork and blockwork services for Equans and GMI Construction. Those contracts are each worth more than £250,000.
Mr Watson, who is group chairman, said: “These recent successes are built on the quality of our team and their work.
“Our relationships with main contractors, many of whom are long-term clients, are becoming ever stronger, as we continue to deliver projects on time and on budget, to extremely high standards.
“It is exciting to witness such strong growth in the first half of this year already, with more wins to follow. In addition, the further growth of Phoenix in wider geographical projects will only fuel more success.”
The company has offices in Pinxton, Derbyshire and in Northampton and continues to extend its commercial reach across the country.
