Favourite Project
£20m Boots warehouse reinstatement – When a fire destroyed the main distribution warehouse for Boots in the UK just before Christmas, a project team was put in place that drove forward the most cost-effective and fastest project that three of the UK’s major organisations (Amec, Boots and Gleeds) had ever worked on.
Key Experience
- Banbury Gateway – £20m retail development for LXB that proved a logistical challenge when the existing tenant had to alter their timescales for moving out at the last minute.
- UCLH (University College London Hospital) – £240m hospital development opposite Euston Station. A complex and large scale PFI project.
- Astra Zenica, Loughborough – Approx £200m development over four phases to construct three laboratories requiring detailed environmental controls and zero contamination.
- Cotswold Oak, Midlands – £6m residential build for a successful high net worth individual.
- £12m refurbishment of Heathrow’s Terminal One
- £32m refurbishment of Waterloo Station.
