Engineering contractor lands £3m scheme at former Boots site in Nottingham

Engineering contractor, Van Elle Holdings has landed a scheme with Keepmoat at the former Boots site in Nottingham.
The project, worth up to £3m, is set to unfold across multiple phases and marks the largest single scheme for Van Elle’s Housing division in the past year.
The development will include 604 new multi-tenure homes, revitalising the disused land and establishing a new community in Nottinghamshire.
Van Elle is also teaming up with M&J Evans, a groundworker in the housing sector, to form a powerhouse collaboration to become a more efficient, unified delivery model for housebuilders nationwide.
Chief executive officer, Mark Cutler said: “We are encouraged by the new Government’s commitment to accelerate the delivery of newbuild housing. We are ready to support incremental demand with our expanded capacity and breadth of expertise, including our precast modular Smartfoot foundation solution, which offers proven benefits compared to traditional methods.
“Although we anticipate housebuilding volumes to remain subdued in the immediate future, orders in housing for the year to date are up 20% compared to last year. We believe the Company is well positioned to play a leading partner role with a range of blue-chip customers, with whom we enjoy high levels of repeat business.”
