Cannock firm celebrates 'best ever' year

The Cannock headquartered company, which is fast approaching its 15th anniversary, continued to win and deliver large scale logistics, distribution and manufacturing projects, whilst also adding a significant volume of Cat ‘A’ and ‘B’ office schemes to its growing portfolio of clients.

Work has been undertaken right across the UK and this has been facilitated by investment in a new office in Cardiff to cover opportunities in the South West and Wales, building on the continued expansion of existing offices in Warrington and Stevenage.

Together, they have contributed £44m in project revenues, representing a 20% increase in sales on the previous year.

Sam Norton, Operations Director, commented: “What we have tried to do over the last twelve months is put in place the foundations to consolidate the exponential growth we’ve enjoyed in recent years, investing in eighteen new people to take our direct team to 46 and our supply chain to more than 100 trusted suppliers.

“The decision to open a presence in Wales and the South West has also been a resounding success, with ten projects already tendered for and won. This means we now have the capacity to deliver all the projects we’re working on, as well as exploring new opportunities across commercial, industrial and education.

“A lot of the pension funds have stayed true to their investment plans, and we saw a take-up on industrial space rise in 2024. This, combined with elevated levels of liquidity in the office marketplace, gives us every indication that demand is increasing.”

Inco Contracts is a specialist in industrial and commercial refurbishment schemes across the UK, completing hundreds of projects every year.

These often tend to be turnkey in nature and involve the company working alongside architects, designers, and landlords to bring warehouse, educational establishments and office space back to life or to the required modern-day standards.

Services provided range from industrial roof and cladding, dilapidation schemes, external groundwork packages, building services, M&E installations, strip-outs and demolition, not to mention heritage and conservation work.

Sam continued: “There’s been some significant projects completed last year, including works at Manchester Airport, a stunning industrial transformation in Coventry and our largest fit-out to date in St Helens and exciting new work in Plymouth.

“These contracts showcase our track record for delivering on time, to budget and to the highest possible standards. It’s an approach we are now taking into the education world, with a lot of schools and buildings set for repairs following Labour’s decision to increase the budget.”

“Education expert Billy Sneddon has joined us as contracts manager and his years of experience is already helping us win new work in the Midlands and the North West.”

Inco Contracts has also committed to its Early Years’ Talent scheme, which it first introduced in 2020.

The company has pumped £125,000 into its roll-out and ongoing development to date and this has seen it recruit five people across its network of offices, with every person progressing quickly into important roles in our contracts team.

They are all appointed with a mentor to oversee their development, 3-monthly training reviews to identify strengths and weaknesses, enhanced responsibility to lead and company-funded education at college or university.
