Artez Group to mark fifth anniversary with record turnover

Construction and interiors firm Artez Group has forecast a record turnover ahead of its fifth birthday later this month.

The company, which recently doubled the size of its Manchester office to accommodate a growing team and new departments, is expecting to achieve a £6m turnover following an upsurge in business from the construction sector.

Artez reported experiencing a “significant” increase in development work in the residential arena.

The company’s director, Mike Banton, said: “2015 has been an enormously successful year for both Artez and the construction industry as a whole. We’re starting to climb out of the recession and, as a result the industry is booming.

“We’ve already secured more than £5m worth of contracts for 2016, with more enquiries coming in on a daily basis, so we anticipate almost doubling our turnover next year.”

He added: “We’ve got some really exciting projects lined up in both the commercial and residential sectors, as well as our newest arm of the business – Artez Interiors that will specialise in the fit out of commercial space and leisure facilities.”

Earlier this year, the business appointed Antony Leach as the new director of Artez Living and hired Steve Knight as the director of Artez Interiors, in an effort to enhance its expertise in the residential and interiors sectors of the construction industry.

Artez is currently delivering a number of projects in the North West, including redevelopment work on Stubbs Mill, a former cotton mill in Manchester, for regeneration firm Urban Splash. The site is being transformed to offer 29,000 sq ft of commercial space.

Elsewhere, the company is set to kick off phase two of a project to carry out restoration work at Jodrell Bank Observatory, which houses the Grade I-listed Lovell Telescope.
