Regional construction company I&G has opened new premises in the North East, following a growth in demand for work in the area.
I&G, part of the Hull-based Sewell Group, is headquartered in West Yorkshire, with additional offices in East Yorkshire and Leeds. They specialise in complex construction projects in the health, education, food and commercial sectors.
The company has opened a new office in Stockton-on-Tees, providing a base to be closer to their North East clients, and creating new employment opportunities throughout the region.
I&G MD Christopher Carline said: “In the last five years, we’ve seen our turnover increase from £6m to over £21m, as we’ve taken on multi-million-pound projects and seen our partnerships with existing clients develop.
“We’re now getting more and more work in the North East, so it feels like the right time to expand into the area. Our new Stockton office will give us a base from which we can work across the North East, giving us more opportunities to work on projects across the area.
“As an employee-owned business, our people are really important to us, and we’re keen to create more opportunities for existing staff, whilst also looking to recruit locally.”
I&G are experts at working in live environments, such as hospital wards, food production facilities and educational spaces. Recent major successes have included the new Critical Care Unit at Barnsley Hospital, the £6m refurbishment of the ophthalmology unit at St James Hospital in Leeds, and a food production factory extension in Pontefract for KP Snacks.
