EYG GOES BACK TO SCHOOL WITH LATEST CONTRACTS
Two high profile East Yorkshire businesses have teamed up to work on the development of seven new schools in Yorkshire.
EYG Commercial, part of the Hull-based EYG Group, has been awarded contracts worth around £300,000 by Britspace, the Gilberdyke off-site construction manufacturer, to provide windows and entrance doors to new schools in Leeds and Sheffield.
Britspace recently announced it had secured a three-year agreement with Leeds City Council worth up to £40m plus a contract with Willmott Dixon and Sheffield City Council to manufacture and construct school buildings. The three Sheffield schools are due for completion and occupation by the end of May.
EYG’s commercial accounts manager Dennis Barnard said the contracts had further enhanced EYG’s reputation within the school building sector. He added: “During the past few years, we have completed some major contracts on schools and university buildings, including work on 19 schools across North Yorkshire and other projects in Hull and Beverley.
“Apart from the obvious satisfaction from being appointed to undertake these latest project, it is good to work with another East Yorkshire business, especially one such as Britspace.”
The EYG Group is one of the country’s leading independent commercial glazing specialists with a turnover in excess of £20 and a workforce of around 300.
