Caddick is expanding its operations in the Midlands, seeking local suppliers to strengthen its project delivery.
- The contractor plans a ‘meet the buyer’ event to engage with potential partners.
- Caddick emphasises utilising local businesses to boost regional economic growth.
- A wide range of trades will be involved across multiple sectors.
- Following a successful event in Middlesbrough, Caddick is keen to replicate its approach in the Midlands.
Caddick, a prominent contractor from Northern England, is set to broaden its footprint within the Midlands by actively recruiting local suppliers and subcontractors. This move demonstrates Caddick’s commitment to fostering strong regional ties and enhancing project efficiency through local partnerships.
To facilitate this expansion, Caddick has scheduled a ‘meet the buyer’ event at Knighthead Park in collaboration with Veriforce Chas. This event aims to connect with local businesses that can offer expertise across diverse fields, including groundworks, concrete framing, piling, and more.
The company’s strategy hinges on utilising local businesses, as evidenced by their financial records, which indicate that 70% of their supply chain expenditure is devoted to vendors within a 30-mile radius of their projects. This approach promises to significantly benefit the local economy and employment scene.
Regional Managing Director Ray O’Sullivan has expressed that Caddick’s growing project pipeline requires the backing of a proficient local supply chain. This initiative is not just about business growth; it underscores a commitment to delivering projects that positively impact community welfare.
Following a similar event in Middlesbrough, the Midlands event is part of a series of strategic efforts by Caddick to replicate its success by drawing on local talent and resources, thereby bolstering its operational capacity.
Caddick’s strategic focus on local partnerships marks a pivotal step in its Midlands expansion, fostering both regional economic and community growth.
