Gilbert-Ash Creates 40 Jobs Through Contract Wins

Gilbert-Ash has created 40 new jobs following a series of contract wins.

The deals include a £13 million contract to refurbish and extend the National Army Museum and a £20 million refurbishment of the Bartlett School of Architecture at University College London.

The recent success has seen Gilbert-Ash expand its base in London, with the company moving to larger new premises in the centre of the city.

The created jobs are all across the construction disciplines including site managers, design managers, planners and estimators.

Ray Hutchinson, Managing Director, said: "I am very proud that the company has increased its workforce so significantly at this time. We took the strategic decision to target projects that would allow us to make use of our expertise and experience and this activity is helping us to sustain our plans for continual growth. By specifically targeting bespoke projects in niche areas, we have won a number of high profile, multi-million pound contracts and we anticipate further wins in the coming year."

He added: "Work is progressing at a rapid pace on a £20m refurbishment of the Institution of Engineering and Technology building in Savoy Place in London, with the building due for handover in October 2015.

"We have also recently secured a £1m contract to work on the Foreign and Commonwealth office building on King Charles Street in Whitehall."

Gilbert-Ash has recently completed the 5G Innovation Centre at the University of Surrey and in Liverpool it has finished Phase 1 of the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall refurbishment.
