Builder expands with new Manchester base

A Greater Manchester construction firm is relocating to support further growth after a strong year of rising demand.

J. Greenwood Builders has moved its head office to a larger 4000sq ft site at Oldham Broadway Business Park, allowing the employee-owned contractor to expand its team and accommodate future recruitment. 

The company, founded in 1971, has relocated around 20 head office staff from its previous base in Chadderton as part of its wider growth strategy.

Bosses say the move follows a successful financial year in which turnover rose to £27 million and pre-tax profit increased to £1.3 million, up from £20 million and £842,000, respectively. 

They add the new headquarters provides the space needed to support continued expansion across its specialist construction services.

Adrian Rooney, managing director of J. Greenwood Builders, said: “Our move provides the space we need for further growth and to deliver higher value projects around the region.

“It allows us to accommodate our growing team, improve collaboration with dedicated meeting and project planning areas, enhance our operational efficiency and provide a modern, high-quality workspace for staff and visitors.”

The firm has also strengthened its pipeline with a series of major contract wins, including a £16 million scheme to deliver new homes in Cheetham Hill for MSV Housing.

Other recent projects include a £4 million extension at Together Trust’s Bridge College in Openshaw and a £2 million refurbishment for Great Places Housing Group in Manchester. 

Adrian added: “The construction market continues to show signs of demand, particularly in housing and public sector works, which create significant opportunities for well-established contractors like us.

“Challenges remain across the sector, including fluctuating material and labour costs, political uncertainty and increased regulatory requirements.

“But the overall outlook is positive, with our relocation reflecting our confidence and commitment to investing in people. Infrastructure and long-term growth.”
