Contractor J Tomlinson has been appointed on the second
phase of a major regeneration scheme in the West Midlands.
Earlier this year the Nottingham-based company began work on
phase one constructing 11 new industrial units at St. Modwen’s Albion Gateway
project at Burton-upon-Trent. These are due to be completed in November.
Now the firm has been appointed to build a further seven new
industrial premises as part of the second phase of the 10-acre, mixed-use
development which is replacing part of the former Pirelli tyre factory with a
mixture of warehouse, trade counter, industrial units, restaurants, a public
house and a hotel.
Construction managing director at J Tomlinson Martin
Gallagher said: “There were strong levels of interest in the first phase of
this high-profile development and we are very pleased to have now been
appointed to build the second phase of the Albion Gateway scheme.
“This is the latest in a number of regeneration projects
that J Tomlinson has worked on and is great news for the East Staffordshire
economy, as well as for us as a company.”
The contracts have supported additional job opportunities at
J Tomlinson. The scheme is also providing work for local subcontractors and
suppliers as both phases of the project are carried out.
Phase one and two will bring almost 60,000 sq ft of new
business and industrial premises to the market.
Located on the main arterial route to the north east of
Burton-on-Trent’s town centre, the scheme benefits from its close proximity to
major transport links, including the A38 and A50. St. Modwen, the UK’s leading
regeneration specialist, is investing in the local road infrastructure, which
will include two new dedicated junctions to the scheme as well as local highway
improvements on the Derby Road.
J Tomlinson, which offers services in construction,
refurbishment, repairs and maintenance, mechanical and electrical engineering,
energy efficiency, renewables and facilities management, is based in Lilac
Grove, Beeston, near Nottingham, and has regional offices across the East and
West Midlands.
Earlier this year J Tomlinson was named in Deloitte’s Businesses Leading Britain 2014 report,
which provides insights into the UK’s 1,000 fastest-growing businesses with
annual revenues between £30 million and £1 billion.
Recently the company announced
four key contracts in the West Midlands, potentially worth £25 million. The
company was appointed to a four-year framework contract by Warwickshire Police and West Mercia Police
covering servicing, maintenance, reactive repairs and minor works
which has a potential value of up to £9.1 million over the lifetime of the
agreement.
The firm also won a five-year
contract worth £10 million to replace kitchens and bathrooms in around 1,600
properties in Birmingham, Coventry, Stoke, Walsall and Wolverhampton for
housing organisation Midland Heart. In
addition, J Tomlinson was appointed on two contracts in Sutton Coldfield for a
new 65-bed care home and a new building for Sutton Coldfield Conservative Club.
These
contracts are contributing to the continued growth of the company which is
expected to see its turnover increase from £54 million in 2014 to £67 million
this year, and with a forecast to rise again next year to £85-£90 million.
