Yorkshire construction company celebrates five years with £20m project pipeline

Yorkshire headquartered construction company, Big Red, has announced record results to coincide with its five-year anniversary.

Founded in Huddersfield, the business has seen record financial results through the Covid-19 pandemic, working on a series of landmark schemes. The business now has an order-book value of £20m.

Founded from his garage by current managing director and owner, Mike Lomas, Big Red has seen exponential growth during its five years of operation, moving from fitting out shops and bars in hometown Huddersfield, to working on a range of landmark projects in towns and cities throughout the UK.

The business has expansion plans focused in the food, pharmaceutical, and healthcare sectors and is now working with “leading names” on projects in said sectors.

In addition, the business is engaged on landmark regeneration schemes, such as Renaissance Works in Huddersfield, Ducie Street in Manchester, and the former HSBC building in Prescott.

The team at Big Red celebrated its five years of growth at a special charity event at The John Smiths Stadium, Huddersfield, on Friday. The ball brought together the individuals and organisations that have played a role in Big Red’s growth story, whilst raising £18k for the Kirkwood Hospice in the process.

Mike Lomas, managing director of Big Red Industries said: “It’s incredible to see what we have achieved in the last five years but bring on the next five – we still have so much ambition.

“We have made a name for ourselves by going against the grain, in an industry which isn’t always known for innovation. I’m incredibly proud of the team we’ve built and the outstanding work we’re delivering.

“Having a focus on Food, Pharmaceuticals and Healthcare means that we can provide specialist advice for bespoke client needs. Every project is unique, and by demonstrating expertise in these areas, we’re able to deliver superior work on time and on budget, for a growing and impressive list of clients, which now includes multinationals.”

To continue the upward trajectory and growth of Big Red, this year Mike has bought out shareholders of the Big Red Industries Group, and now owns 90 per cent of the business to ensure that the business continues to grow in a “sustainable and focused way”.
