£60m contractor moves to larger premises

Henry Brothers Midlands has officially opened its new offices on Eldon Road in Beeston.

The contractor is part of Northern Ireland-based Henry Group. It has grown to become a £60m turnover concern since its launch in 2015 and now employs almost 60 people.

The construction firm’s new two-storey office is more than twice the size of its previous Midlands headquarters.

Members of the Henry Brothers board visited the site to celebrate the launch including chairman emeritus Jim Henry, group managing director David Henry and group director Ian Henry, HR director Julie McKeown, commercial director Alan Mitchell and financial director Allen Reid.

Jim Henry said: “This is a proud day, as we open new, much larger offices for our Midlands team. It’s been very pleasing for me to see how the Midlands division of Henry Brothers has grown and flourished in a relatively short space of time and I congratulate all those involved in the success.

“I am delighted to cut the ribbon to officially open the new offices and signal the next stage of development for Henry Brothers Midlands.”

Key personnel from the Henry Brothers Midlands team at the event included Midlands managing director Ian Taylor, commercial director John Fielding, design and planning director John Sowter and construction director Justin Hicklin.

Ian Taylor said: “Henry Brothers Midlands has experienced continued and sustained growth since being launched in 2015. In seven years we have grown to become a division with an annual turnover of £60m.

“We have built up strong relationships with a number of clients in the Midlands and beyond, including Nottingham Trent University, Loughborough University, Lincoln University, Staffordshire University and Derbyshire County Council.

“We are proud to have delivered first class schemes for the education sector, the blue light sector, the defence sector and others – providing both new-build and refurbishment services to our clients.”

He added: “Moving to a new office opens the next chapter for Henry Brothers Midlands, allowing us to maintain our growth in the Midlands and further afield. Our aim is to continue to offer clients an exceptional service, working in partnership to support them with their development plans.”
