Derbyshire-based Phoenix Brickwork has won two contracts for Willmott Dixon with a combined value of £4.5m.
Phoenix will supply the brickwork package for the University of Staffordshire’s new student village in Stoke-on-Trent. At the same time, Phoenix will also work on a multi-million-pound project to build a new 28-bed secure children’s facility in Sleaford, Lincolnshire.
Work on the Stoke project started in March and see 700 student rooms built in cluster blocks and townhouses. BMH Scaffolding, part of the Phoenix Brickwork group of companies, will provide the scaffolding.
Phoenix Brickwork, which also has an office in Northampton, was established in 2010 and secured its first £1m contract five years later. Since then, it has expanded its range of services to include brickwork, scaffolding and drywalling services.
Chairman Christian Watson said: “Securing these two projects is a fantastic achievement for Phoenix Brickwork and BMH Scaffolding, showcasing the strength of our group and the expertise that we bring to major developments around the country.”
He added: “With Phoenix Brickwork now providing SFS design, masonry and scaffolding, the business is fast becoming a key player in the national sub-contracting landscape.”
