Meldrum Group looks to build on strong growth with new Cambridge office
An expanding North-East construction company is building on its success with the opening of a new office in Cambridge .
Meldrum Group , which has construction , civils , fabrication , M & E , fire engineering and FM capability in-house , aims to bring further employment opportunities to the South-East area .
Dave Meldrum , CEO for Meldrum Group , said : “ The business is in a very strong position , but we also recognise the challenges being faced , particularly in the North-East construction industry at present .
“ It makes perfect sense to open the Cambridge office following some very successful projects delivered in the South-East area for repeat national clients . This office will allow us to support those existing clients , as well as new clients , in a much more meaningful way .
“ Opening the Cambridge office will help us not only realise our 2023 / 24 goals but continue to build for the future . It has always been our ambition to be our clients ’ ‘ contractor of choice ’ and we are continuing to work hard with existing and new clients .
“ We believe that through our completely integrated and end-to-end service , we can provide competitive , high-quality solutions delivered with a level of integrity and customer service that is recognised and valued by our clients .”
Meldrum Group was founded in 2001 in the North-East by Dave Meldrum and employs more than 200 people . The business has many repeat clients and clients that have asked them to work outside of their typical locale . Part of the rationale for opening a South-East office has been at the request of its current client base , having successfully delivered a number of jobs in the area .
Christian Huckstep , regional project director for Meldrum Construction , said : “ Being our clients ’ construction partner of choice has meant Meldrum has worked outside of the North-East on a regular basis , making opening this office a natural step .
“ Our ability to deliver successfully in the South-East has already been proven and we look forward to supporting our current clients while also expanding to work with new partners and clients in the area .”
Meldrum Group has all trades and expertise in-house , making it a truly bespoke offering for its clients . Its ability to deliver everything from planning and design to civil engineering and construction , through to the facilities management of the end product , means it can provide a unique and fully integrated service .
Meldrum continues to build on its success , having achieved a turnover of £ 60m in 2022 . Dave states : “ This growth may seem rapid on paper but , in reality , we were on a very positive trajectory of steady growth before the advent of Covid . Those project delays have since come to fruition , resulting in a strong set of results in 2022 .
“ We are conscious of the current construction industry landscape and our ambition is to continue to grow in a solidified and sustainable way . First and foremost is ensuring the business is profitable and continues to perform well , and that our strategic objectives are well thought out and de-risked as much as possible .
“ These are exciting times for Meldrum and we are enthusiastic to see what Christian and the team can achieve in this new region by bringing the Meldrum brand to the South-East .”
