Contractor Anderson has scooped two new contracts totalling £12 million.

The Chelmsford-based company has secured works at Elsenham and Coggeshall, both in Essex, which are now underway.

The first of the multi-million-pound contracts was awarded by Bloor Homes (Eastern) for Anderson to deliver Phase 1 infrastructure and groundworks to 85 units in Elsenham.

Anderson's first engagement with Bloor Homes on the project was to deliver the initial S278 package, which involved the installation of a new access road and bellmouth to tie in to the existing Henham Road – the success of which helped the group win this contract.

Andrew Nowosad, Commercial Director of the Anderson Construction Business, said: "The delivery teams seized on this opportunity to impress and delivered on everything promised, demonstrating that it takes a great team effort to continually deliver a high level of quality while maintaining exceptional standards of health and safety. This gave Bloor confidence in Anderson's ability to deliver the Phase 1 groundworks.

"Recognition must go to the commercial team. Working closely with Bloor, the team successfully navigated a complex tendering process enabling them to finally reach agreement on both scope and value."

Alex Clark, Design and Technical Director at Bloor Homes (Eastern), said: "Our partnership with Anderson continues to expand and we’re pleased to be working with them on Phase 1 of the Henham Road project at Elsenham. Anderson’s delivery of the S278 package has been instrumental for us and we very much value the working relationship we have with the team there."

The second of the new contract successes is the securing of Phase 1 infrastructure for new client, Countryside Partnerships (CSP), at London Road in Coggeshall.
