Southdale set to inject a £22m boost to Yorkshire supply chain

Development and construction firm Southdale is set to create opportunities for new apprentices, subcontractors and supply chain companies by putting almost £22 million into the Yorkshire economy after winning six lucrative contracts.

Halifax-based Southdale has secured work valued at more than £20 million in Barnsley, Doncaster, Ilkley, Sheffield and York, and want to create one apprenticeship for every million pounds-worth of work they have won.

New contracts include:

• 55 family houses for Yorkshire Housing Association in Acomb, York in a project valued at £5.6 million;

• A £2.2 million development for Leeds and Yorkshire Housing Association in Athersley, Barnsley;

• A scheme to create 34 houses in Addlington, Sheffield, for the Great Places Housing Group, worth £2.6 million;

• 71 houses at the Willow Estate in Doncaster for Jephson Homes Housing Association, in a £5.99m scheme;

• A £1.6 million project to create 15 houses at Moor Court, in Ilkley, for Bradford Council; and

• The creation of 37 houses for Barnsley Council at Roy Kilner Road, in Bansley, valued at £3.9 million.

Trudie McCormick, Yorkshire Region managing director at Southdale, said: “Southdale’s robust and continued growth in Yorkshire is clearly demonstrated by these new contract wins. We’re committed to helping the economy in communities in which we are based so the overwhelming majority of this work will go directly into the Yorkshire supply chain.

“We are also aiming to recruit one apprentice for every million pounds-worth of work that we’ve won, to invest in the next generation of construction professionals. These contract wins represent a continued strong growth throughout 2014 and we are looking forward to an excellent year as we continue to develop our presence in Yorkshire and Humberside.”
