• Outstanding Year For MC Construction’s FM Arm

28 September 2018

MC Construction’s new facilities services division has doubled its target turnover and nearly tripled its workforce in year one.

The Salford-based company was established by MC Facilities Services in summer 2017 with eight staff.   The team, led by director Russ Forshaw, has grown to 22 as demand has increased, with the addition of staff specialising in mechanical, electrical and fabric maintenance works.

Revenues for its first full financial year to September are on track for £2m, double the initial goal.

The division’s private sector client base includes Kellogg’s, Bentley Motors, The Christie, U+I, The Peel Group and Robinsons Brewery.  It has been appointed to the Crown Commercial Service’s £12bn, four-year public sector framework and Salford City Council’s responsive repairs and maintenance framework.

Due to its rapid expansion, MC Facilities Services has now taken premises at the Mayfield Development Partnership’s site near Piccadilly Station. A 3,200 sq.ft. unit is being used as a platform from which to expand its city centre operations.

Russ said: “We’re delighted with our achievements in our first full year. We have built a fantastic team of locally-employed tradesmen and have established a reputation for reliability, flexibility and trust, offering a responsive service to our client base around the clock, 365 days a year.

“Since the collapse of Carillion we have seen strong demand from customers seeking a trusted SME partner that can deliver an efficient and responsive service.”

Russ said the division is aiming for 20 per cent growth in revenues and staff numbers over the next 12 months and is on the acquisition trail to further expand its offer.

“We are keen to identify companies which offer bolt-on specialist services such as air-conditioning installation and servicing, access control, fire alarm system maintenance and CCTV,” he said.

“These will further help us towards our goal of providing a comprehensive, one-stop service to our growing client base.”

In addition to minor works, building services and facilities maintenance, the division offers insurance reinstatement, fire remedial works, testing and inspection services and maintenance of canals and other waterways.
