Caddick Construction Group has taken another step in its northern expansion with the launch of a new office in Durham.

The multi-disciplinary contractor’s latest move strengthens its regional footprint following a strong financial performance, which saw profits rise by £7.4 million and turnover increase by 38% to £318 million.

The new 2,045 sq ft office, located at Adelaide House in Belmont Business Park, marks Caddick's first base in the North East. The site will serve as a hub for business development and project delivery, supporting the firm's ambitions to expand its pipeline in the region.

This growth is being spearheaded by recent leadership appointments, with Steve Ford taking on the role of Regional Managing Director for Caddick Construction North East & Yorkshire and Simon Martin appointed as Managing Director for Caddick Civil Engineering. Both will focus on driving expansion and securing new projects.

Ahead of opening, the Durham premises underwent a full fit-out, incorporating design elements that align with the company’s recently launched headquarters at Calder House in Wakefield.


Caddick Construction's investment in the North East reflects its commitment to expanding across key sectors, including industrial, residential, healthcare, offices, retail, and manufacturing. The company also aims to strengthen its presence in the public sector, leveraging its position on several regional procurement frameworks, including the £800 million North East Procurement Organisation (NEPO) Construction Works Framework.

Paul Dodsworth, Group Managing Director at Caddick, commented: "We are really excited to launch our new office in Durham and to move ourselves closer to our growing client-base in the North East. There is a healthy pipeline of construction work in the region, and we're very proud to bring our capabilities, knowledge and experience to this thriving market.

"I am determined that our growth will be sustainable; we will retain our financial stability for our people, our clients and our supply chain. Our focus is on delivering exceptional projects, supporting our clients, our trusted supply chain partners and investing in our people, all of which underpin our growth journey."

Steve Ford, Regional Managing Director of Caddick Construction North East & Yorkshire, added: "Caddick has a proud reputation for delivering high quality projects, and for being a forward thinking, collaborative and innovative construction partner. The conversations we are having, and the response we have so far seen in the North East market, have proven the appetite and demand for our services in the region, and we're very proud to cement our presence in the North East with our new Durham office."

Simon Martin, Managing Director of Caddick Civil Engineering, said: "The Government has some very bold housing targets, and keeping pace with these ambitions is reliant on unlocking brownfield regeneration. Broadening our geographical reach into the North East will allow us to serve this growing pipeline with our knowledge and experience of complex land remediation."
