CONSTRUCTION FIRM SECURES NEW CONTRACTS

A construction company has secured £7m of new contracts across Wales and Shropshire.

Pave Aways Building Contractors will adapt the former Oldford Road Nursery and Infants School in Welshpool into offices, a family centre and nursery for Powys County Council and convert former offices into residential accommodation for a council in North Wales.

In Shropshire, it will return to Harper Adams University in Edgmond for its 21st assignment to refurbish the veterinary nursing building. It has also been contracted to build an integrated therapeutic learning centre with associated children’s homes for a private provider in Albrighton.

The renovation and refurbishment of a privately owned listed residence in Shrewsbury completes the list of recently awarded schemes.

Managing director Steven Owen said: “Our order book is healthy and we continue to work across a variety of sectors, from residential to education and manufacturing, with a mixture of private and public sector contracts. This ensures we have a varied workload to support our sustainable business growth and minimise risk.

“As a contractor with its roots in Shropshire and Wales, we’ll be using local supply chains that will translate into economic benefits for the communities where we’re working, as well as providing training opportunities and support to local organisations and charities.”
