Inspire Site Update Steel Frame is "Topped" with Last Beam

Construction of the new warehouse at the Inspire Community Trust design and build  site continues to move full steam ahead. We are pleased to tell you that the last beam was placed on top of the structural steel frame, more than two full weeks ahead of schedule! During November (as the weather begins to worsen), the concrete floors will be poured. Soon to follow will the construction of the exterior walls followed by the roof installation. The entire building will be weather tight by the end of January so the internal fit can commence.

The Only Way Is Up

The UK operation of Knapman & Sons (Builders) Ltd grew its turnover from £1.2 million to just under £2 million, up to August 2011, when numerous other companies are struggling or even going bust.

“This year has been a tremendous year for Knapman’s and it seems that the only way is up from here on" said Mark Knapman, Managing Director since 2002. "We are in the middle of an ambitious three year business plan to double the size of the business and become the market leader in our sector in our region.

“We will be targeting the same type of client, being that of Government Authorities, Housing Associations, Borough Councils, along with larger retail and production businesses. All this with the enthuses on larger contract work and partnerships”.

“Social Housing Improvements, along with planned maintenance and cyclical estate redecorations to housing stocks across the South East of England, will always be foremost in our continued effort to tender for type of contract that we excel in. However, with the addition of Mr Steve Bell to our Contract Manager Team and his vast experience, we are also targeting Design & Build Contracts.

With a full order book and new tenders being received on a regular basis, we envisage growth to continue to increase in 2012”
