Britcon (UK) has opened a new office in Stockton-on-Tees following a number of project wins in the region.

Britcon, which has its headquarters in Scunthorpe and regional office in Wakefield, has won new contracts in the education sector, including the building of a new college and a school. It also has a pipeline of other work opportunities in the region across a variety of sectors.

Britcon Managing Director Nick Shepherd said: "This is an exciting time for our business, as we see many opportunities in the North, which is due in part to the Levelling Up work that is taking place in the public and private sector. We have worked within the region for many years and have an established local supply chain, there is great potential for us to grow further in the commercial and industrial sectors in this area.
