Esh Group Acquires Border Construction
Esh Group has acquired both Border Holdings Limited and Border Construction Limited.
The new subsidiary will be known as Esh Border Construction and will continue to carry out work in Cumbria and the Scottish Borders.
Esh Group, which directly employs nearly 1,000 people, currently has offices in Durham, Cramlington, Leeds and Kendal and carries out construction work throughout the North of England.
Border Construction has 143 employees and has over the last few years successfully delivered a number of construction projects across a wide range of sectors including education, health, public buildings, social housing and commercial build.
These include award winning projects such as Robert Burns National Birthplace Museum in Ayr (£10m), the extension and refurbishment of Trinity School, Carlisle (£18m), Denton Holme Student Village, Carlisle (£10m), Abbotsford House Visitor Centre, Melrose (£3.2m) and five new Fire and Rescue Stations throughout Cumbria, (£13m) as part of the North West Fire and Rescue PFI Project.
Brian Manning, Chief Executive of Esh Group, said: "We are really pleased that we have managed to secure the Border business. We have built up a good business out of our Kendal office over the last four years and this acquisition gives us the opportunity to cement our position in both Cumbria and Scotland where Border has considerable turnover.
"The culture of Esh Group involves working closely with the communities in which we operate and that includes employing local people. We believe Border Construction's culture of quality work with dedicated employees will fit well with our model."
