Wolverhampton Interchange boost glazer’s profit hopes

COMMERCIAL glazer Dortech Architectural Systems is hoping for record profits after completing a £1.5m contract as part of the development of a new transport interchange in the Black Country.

Dortech, which is based in Huddersfield, glazed the entrances, concourses, retail areas and a new bridge at the £174m Wolverhampton Interchange development.

The new interchange brings together the city’s train and bus services with new offices shops and restaurants and has stands for 19 buses, three waiting areas and an electronic information system.

Chairman Steve Sutherland said: “The past 18 months have presented challenging marketing conditions for our sector as a whole and the future continues to look difficult with the significant withdrawal in public sector spending and anticipated lag time before the commercial sector begins to pick up steam.

“However, Dortech has succeeded in maintaining its turnover and now carries a strong forward order book with work already secured well into the first quarter of next calendar year.

“We remain grounded in respect to our outlook for 2012, however we have secured some exciting new projects in respect to scale and complexity and our enquiry levels are at record highs.

“Initial indications suggest it could be a record year for turnover and profitability.”
