A principal contractor has secured its first contract in the South West after landing an industrial project in Swindon.
Inco Contracts, which supports hundreds of clients across the UK, has recently started work on a warehouse refurbishment of Unit 1 on Great Western Trade Park.
The £160,000 deal will see it stripped back to its shell, decorated internally and externally, roofing repairs carried out, installation of an industrial floor coating and new electrics throughout.
Expected to take just two months from start to finish, the project also covers full office and toilet refurbishment and the addition of new heating and air conditioning.
Adam Bidhendy, who was recently appointed as Regional Director for the South West and Wales, commented: “We signalled our intention to expand into this territory in August and, just one month later, have started work on our first contract in the area – an industrial refurbishment for Spring Building Consultancy.
“This builds on a 10-year working relationship with them and we are looking forward to delivering this on time and to budget. We’ll have three direct Inco staff working on it at any given time, as well as a supply chain of eight approved contractors.”
The Swindon contract comes a week after the company announced the opening of a dedicated Wales and South West office in Cardiff, joining sister locations in Warrington, Stevenage and its head-office in Cannock.
It has invested £215,000 into moving into Quest House on St Mellons Business Park in the City and will use this base to target the significant rise in dilapidation schemes and a surge in demand from existing partners operating in the area.
Inco Contracts is hoping to generate £3m of revenue in its first year, creating up to eight new jobs in the process.
“The short-term aim is to establish our satellite office and name in Cardiff and the wider Wales and South West region. This will be by tapping into existing clients and attracting new ones, with contracts already in place for industrial and retail refurbishments,” added Sam
Norton, Operations Director.
“Adam’s appointment a few months ago will be instrumental to our growth. He has so much experience and contacts in the region and gets the Inco values of customer service, innovation and delivering on our promises.
“Under his leadership, I believe we can become the most reputable and successful principal contractors in Wales and the South West.”
Inco Contracts, which recently won Company of the Year award, is a specialist in industrial, commercial and education refurbishment schemes across the UK, completing hundreds of projects every year.
These often tend to be turnkey in nature and involve the company working alongside architects, designers, and landlords to bring warehouse, educational establishments and office space back to life or to the required modern-day standards.
Services provided range from industrial roof and cladding, dilapidation schemes, building services, M&E installations, and soft strip-outs, not to mention heritage and conservation work.
