Wynne Construction laying the foundations for a strong year
A construction firm working on major projects in Powys says it will consolidate its growth over the coming 12 months as it begins work on a series of major developments.
Wynne Construction is due to commence an additional £60 million worth of schemes across Wales in 2023, including new schools, colleges, social housing and apartments, as the company’s order book and number of employees continues to grow.
The new developments come as the company looks to finalise a number of major sites across Powys and Mid Wales, including the £7m development of Ysgol Gymraeg Y Trallwng in Welshpool.
Additionally, work will be continuing on major builds within the region, including the £18m new build of Newtown’s Ysgol Cedewain, which will see a modern two-storey building which includes a hydrotherapy pool, sensory and physiotherapy rooms and a community café built.
Managing director of Wynne Construction Chris Wynne said: “It is encouraging to see the coming year looks to be a promising one for Wynne Construction, especially as it’s been a particularly challenging time for the entire industry which thankfully looks to now be stabilising.
“Winning major contracts and the resulting staff growth speak volumes to the level of passion and commitment shown by all members of the team, and I cannot thank them enough for their commitment and high quality of work delivered on all projects.”
Wynne will also be continuing work into nearby regions, with the company due to commence on an approximate £13m design and build scheme in Felinfach for Ceredigion County Council, bringing a new primary school to the Aeron Valley.
The school will mark the further expansion of the company within the region following the development of Cardigan’s Ysgol Uwchradd Aberteifi and Ysgol Gyfun Aberaeron.
The increase in contracts has seen the company continue to expand and develop its staff, with the firm adding 16 new employees to its design, social value, and onsite teams over the last 12 months.
Chris added: “With a strong pipeline of work ahead of us this year across Wales, we are looking forward to working with the communities around our builds, as well as developing further ties with the vital local supply chains which we source for our schemes where possible.
“Through the Wynne Futures Foundation, we will also continue our strong commitment to supporting our Welsh-based SME supply chain with a target of over 60 per cent to be spent with Wales.”
