SOUTH Derry-headquartered contractor Henry Brothers has been awarded a place on the North West Construction Hub Framework (NWCH) for the first time, which will allow it to tap into potential workloads worth millions of pounds.
The company, which expanded into the north west of England last year with a Manchester-based office, has been appointed to the medium-value construction framework for projects of between £3m and £8m.
The NWCH is a leading public sector construction framework, established in 2009, which has helped to deliver more than £2.79 billion worth of projects.
It covers Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Merseyside, and Cumbria, as well as five areas of Cheshire, including Cheshire East, Cheshire West and Chester.
Henry Brothers Construction managing director Ian Taylor said: “It is great news that we've won a place on this key public sector framework, with clients including local authorities, universities, NHS foundation trusts, blue light organisations, housing trusts, colleges and academies, and more.
“We have significant experience of working with public sector partners and being appointed on the NWCH Framework opens up a potential pipeline of new business for us in a region in which we are steadily growing our presence.”
Henry Brothers (www.henrybrothers.co.uk) is one of 11 contractors appointed on to the three-year medium-value construction framework, which began in September and has an option to extend for a further year.
The company recently completed a £12m refurbishment scheme of the chemistry building at the University of Manchester as its first significant project in the north west.
