We were appointed by Invertek Drives to manufacture and install washroom facilities at its global HQ and manufacturing plant in Welshpool.

Invertek recently completed the construction of a 2,771sq metre extension to the global variable frequency drive manufacturing and distribution facility, which included the installation of a new mezzanine.

The expanded distribution facility will allow the company to increase its production capacity to over 1.2 million units annually, and lead to the creation of job roles in production, distribution, and manufacturing engineering to support the increased output.

In addition, the company plans to significantly expand its Innovation, Research, and Development teams to drive the creation of next-generation electric motor control technology.

The extension to the existing 5,500sq metre facility is part of a £10m investment that includes a new training centre.

Recently, we were trusted by BAM Construction to manufacture and install our range of washroom packages at Byrchall High School in Wigan.

Byrchall is one of four schools in Wigan that received funding from the Department for Education’s £1bn School Rebuilding Programme and is one of 50 new eco and self-sustainable schools that will be built in the UK over the next three years.

Redevelopment of the school, which has 1,200 pupils, commenced in 2022 after it was deemed no longer fit for purpose.

Under plans drawn up by BAM Design, the original building was demolished and replaced with a brand new facility. The school was constructed in phases to ensure that teaching could continue throughout the project.

The new building provides pupils with a four-court, multi-use sports hall, a dance studio, educational workshops, and a dining room facility for events and theatre.

Externally, the development includes an outdoor sports pitch, a performance area, a tuck shop, and a pizza oven.

Hough End Leisure Centre, a state-of-the-art centre in Manchester, has been developed to become an important resource hub for the local community, featuring modern facilities and new equipment for both indoor and outdoor activities across a two-storey extension.

Providing a multi-faceted and sustainable space for sporting enthusiasts has been one of the driving forces behind the ambitious project, nurturing a rich sporting community in Manchester.

The improved centre will make long-term growth and inclusivity a priority for people that have dealt with inequalities, offering a space for women and girls, ethnic communities and people with disabilities and long-term health conditions.

This investment also provides Manchester’s first Football Hub venue in partnership with The Football Foundation and Sport England.

September 2024 saw the opening of 15 improved grass pitches, providing a real community hub for grassroots football and sports activities with a 7 day a week, all year-round programmes.

Fred Longworth High School is the first of two high schools being advanced by BAM Construction under the Department for Education’s high value framework.

The scheme consists of a new three-storey teaching block and removal of the existing school to create new sports pitches.

The challenge on site was to create a new overlay on the current campus while the school continued to operate, this involved retaining three existing buildings and making use of intelligence sequencing.

Upon completion, it has increased the school’s capacity from 1,275 to 1,350 pupils and has a net zero carbon in operation.
