Office contracts bolster commercial portfolio for Britcon

Building and structural engineering company Britcon has completed two new office build projects worth £1.2 million in North Lincolnshire.

Worldwide distributor of party goods, Unique Party instructed Britcon to refurbish its UK headquarters building. The £750,000 contract includes full exterior and interior works to Medford House in Scunthorpe as well as the complete refurbishment of one of its distribution warehouses.

Industrial and Decorative Painting Contractor Jack Tighe has also commissioned Britcon to complete a £468,000 project for a new two storey headquarters office building in Gainsborough. This is the first phase of a three-phase plan by Jack Tighe to expand its facilities. Britcon has long standing relations with the company through its sister firm Britcon Engineering Services for which it completes industrial Structural steel painting & Coatings works.

Martin Hilyard, Chairman off Jack Tighe Group said, “We are delighted with the works from Britcon. Its team are a credit to the company who were always extremely professional and efficient. We would not hesitate in using Britcon again for phase two and indeed recommending them to others.”

With existing projects underway for North Lincolnshire Council to deliver a new HQ for Ongo Homes and provide a major extension to Church Square House, this brings the total value of projects by Britcon in its home county to more than £12 million.

Paul Clarkson, Managing Director at Britcon said, “We are delighted to secure these major projects which reflect the strength in our offer to the commercial offices sector. Whilst we have very specialist capabilities in the heavy industrial arena, we are extremely well versed in the challenges of new build and refurbishment projects and offer a turn key solution to take care of planning issues, ground preparation, corporate governance and of course the build.”
