Building contractor Speller Metcalfe has started work to develop a new corporate head office (HQ) for industry manufacturer Thomas Dudley.

The multimillion-pound facility is being built at Dudley in the West Midlands and is due for completion in August 2017.

The new three-storey building will contain modern office facilities for staff alongside a customer focused showroom and training facilities.

It further underlines out commitment to investing in the business, in order to deliver world-class products and services for our customers nationwide and overseas."

Rob Lashford, Regional Manager at Speller Metcalfe, added: "Bringing two local, family-owned and run businesses together to develop this new project is a fantastic announcement for the region.

"Not only will this new building provide employment opportunities for Thomas Dudley, the development itself will bring other employment for local sub-contractors and suppliers from across the county."
