Caddick Construction integrates in-house subsidiary CCL Facades for its Stockport Edward Street development, ensuring streamlined operations.
- CCL Facades secures a £1.8m contract for glazing and curtain walling at the affordable housing project.
- The high-rise will feature 131 new rental flats, expanding CCL’s portfolio of residential developments.
- CCL Facades, previously Speedclad, showcases its UK-manufactured A2-rating aluminium Speedpanel system.

Caddick Construction has strategically chosen to keep the glazing and curtain walling tasks for its Edward Street development within its own ranks by involving its subsidiary, CCL Facades. This decision ensures that the intricate specifications of the project are met with precision and coherence, leveraging the internal synergies between Caddick and CCL Facades.
CCL Facades has been entrusted with a substantial £1.8 million contract to oversee the design, supply, and installation of a comprehensive glazing system for the new affordable housing establishment overseen by The Guinness Partnership. This system will encompass a variety of glass and spandrel panels, prominently featuring the company’s signature A2-rating aluminium Speedpanel, a product that underscores its commitment to safety and quality as it is manufactured domestically in the UK.
The Edward Street project will introduce 131 new rental flats to the Stockport area, marking a significant expansion in CCL Facades’ high-rise residential portfolio. Since the rebranding and operational reboot of CCL Facades, post its acquisition from administration by Caddick Construction in October 2022, there has been a noticeable growth in their involvement in high-rise developments, illustrating the company’s resilience and proficiency in the field.
Tony Blake, the managing director of CCL Facades, articulated the rewarding nature of engaging in high-rise residential contracts. He emphasised the dual focus on aesthetics and safety in their solutions, highlighting the collaborative dynamics with Caddick which facilitate the efficient delivery of crucial social housing projects.
Dave Saville, regional managing director for Caddick Construction North West, expressed the synergy with The Guinness Partnership, a reputed entity in affordable housing. He noted that the inclusion of CCL Facades reinforces the project’s foundational strength, enabling a ‘hand-in-glove’ operational approach that significantly enhances the project’s quality and delivery timelines.
