Shaylor wins raft of new contracts

All areas of the 45-year-old building group have successfully secured new business in both the public and private sectors.

Continuing its growing presence in the student accommodation sector, a new £5 million contract with Mansion Group has been secured to refurbish and create additional capacity to Danesgate House student accommodation in Lincoln.

This new contract further strengthens Shaylor's relationship with Mansion Group, making it the eighth project awarded to Shaylor since 2011.

In the same sector, new contracts have recently been awarded in Aberdeen and Leeds for another leading student accommodation provider.

Other important new wins include projects covering the heritage, justice, leisure and automotive sectors.

Family-owned Shaylor Group is also continuing its success in the framework arena with two new significant appointments since the start of the year.

In the public sector Shaylor has been appointed to Cambridgeshire County Council's minor works framework which covers minor maintenance, refurbishment and alteration projects, for a period of four years. Public bodies within Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire also have access to this framework, as do all schools within both counties.

Shaylor has also been appointed to a nationwide framework for one of the country's most prominent retail companies. The company is also hoping to be further mandated to other key appointments in the near future.

Group chief executive Stephen Shaylor said: "Naturally we are delighted to have had such a buoyant start to 2014. Our selective approach to new business has placed us on a new and much improved trajectory. As we approach the half-way point of the financial year, we already have around 90 per cent of our target order book secured and will achieve revenue growth of 50 per cent this year.

"We are confident that our independent status and discerningly different approach will provide us with a platform to move from strength to strength, continuing with our strategy of planned and managed growth."

These successes are amongst the latest in a number of repeat business awards from serial clients and framework appointments both regionally and across the country. Shaylor Group now holds places on 16 frameworks and programmes of work nationwide. for both public and private sector bodies.
