Hull construction firm complete trio of projects at Ozone Business Park

Construction firm Hobson & Porter has completed its third project at Ozone Business Park in Howden, East Yorkshire.

On 8th December 2017, the Hull-based firm handed over a new headquarters to a manufacturer of building products at Plot 6 – the largest of all the plots at Ozone Business Park at 87,000 sq ft.

The manufacturer, which has been part of the Alumasc Group plc since 2004, was previously based in Goole. Identifying Ozone Business Park as an ideal base for its operation in East Yorkshire, the manufacturer put the contract for the construction of the industrial unit and offices, concrete base and car park out to tender.

Hobson & Porter was awarded the contract, along with a subsequent contract for the fit-out of the offices.

Russell Dickinson, Hobson & Porter’s senior site manager, commented: “This has been a challenging and rewarding project, partly because of the scale of the headquarters but also due to variations made to the programme of works.

“These headquarters represent a major investment for this company, which understandably wanted the very best specification of building and interior fit-out possible for the budget.

“As a result, a number of changes were made to the original scope of works, which we managed to accommodate with no change to the handover date. I am grateful to our team and supply chain, who worked tirelessly to deliver a first-class job.”

Just six weeks earlier, Hobson & Porter completed another project at Howden, creating a new operating centre for Kersey Freight Ltd.

The haulage firm bought Plot 3 from Horncastle Group and put the contract for the construction of its new East Yorkshire base out to competitive tender, which Hobson & Porter won based on price and its positive track record in this area.

The construction firm built a base to accommodate 25 vehicles and 75 trailers for Kersey Freight Ltd.

The two recent projects, added to a further project completed in 2016, produced a hat-trick of successes for Hobson & Porter at the Ozone Business Park.

The company has also announced a fourth contract at the business park, this time on Plot 5.
