Inco Contracts is celebrating its best-ever year with a jump in sales thanks to the completion of over 250 commercial and industrial refurbishments in 2024.
The Cannock-based company has reported a 20 per cent increase in sales on the previous year, with the refurbishments contributing £44 million in project revenues.
The contractor 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 across the UK, 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.
Staff numbers have also increased.
Operations Director Sam Norton said: “What we have tried to do over the last 12 months is put in place the foundations to consolidate the exponential growth we’ve enjoyed in recent years, investing in 18 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 10 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.”
Projects completed in the last year include work at Manchester Airport and in Plymouth, an industrial transformation in Coventry and Inco’s largest fit-out to date in St Helens.
Sam added: “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.”
