The Company:
We are working with a leading, national, Construction Group whose North West building business has created a great reputation for delivering varied and interesting projects for clients based in the North West of England.
They are arguably the best building contractor in the North West in terms of the projects they take on, financial stability, client relationships, their processes and procedures and the quality of their team from Graduates through to their Directors.
They have a very approachable and successful senior management team, secure the overwhelming majority of their projects through negotiation (they are good at what they do and tend to leave their clients pleased with their projects) and are also members of a number of key public sector, procurement frameworks. They are one of the Top 10 Construction Groups in the UK.
They are cash rich, make good margins on their projects, have an excellent supply chain who they pay promptly and treat with respect (we know this from personal experience!) and staff turnover is low as people like working here.
