Carlsberg UK hands contract to Caddick Construction
CADDICK Construction has won a £7.2m contract to design and build a new bottling hall for brewing giant Carlsberg UK.
The 75,000 sq ft expansion to the brewery’s facilities in Northampton will enable the company to double its production of brands including Carlsberg, Carlsberg Export, Carlsberg Special Brew, Tuborg, Skol, Holsten and San Miguel beers to 10m bottles a year.
It is set to create up to 60 new jobs for the brewer when it opens in March 2013.
Stephen Shoesmith-Evans, project manager at Carlsberg UK, said: “It was clear Caddick Construction was the right partner to design and build the new bottling hall both in terms of the timescales we required and the attention they pay to the quality and finish of the building.
“We want the new bottling hall to both stand out externally as a great building, but also to raise the bar internally on our production environments and we believe Caddick is the right company to help us achieve that.”
Andrew Murray, managing director of Knottingley-based Caddick Construction, said: “We are very excited to have been chosen by Carlsberg to deliver its new bottling hall at the Northampton brewery. We have worked hard to win the project and look forward to making it a success and to extending our expertise in this specialist sector of construction.”
Caddick Construction, part of the Caddick Group, has turnover of £42.5m and employs 102 people.
Speaking to TheBusinessDesk.com earlier this year, Mr Murray said the company was aiming to win more work with dairy giant Arla Foods following a major contract win.
