Scottish contractor Morris & Spottiswood is hoping to double its turnover in England and Wales following the opening of a new office in Warrington

George Morris, chairman of the £84m turnover firm, said: “This is a huge moment for our business.

“This investment is a statement of intent and aims to catapult us further into the nationwide market for our services.

“Our ambition is to ramp up our sales in the North West, England and Wales to 50% of turnover from its current position of 25%.

“We work with some of the biggest names in banking, retail, leisure, social housing and the public sector. And it is exactly those sectors we will be targeting for more growth.

“Our new management team in Warrington are now leading the charge to promote our company and win business with tremendous passion and purpose. 10 years after we first began working in England today feels like we have come a very long way but the best is still to come.

“Our approach is now to offer the complete package of construction, fit-out, refurbishment, and maintenance services.

“This is what industry wants. One point of contact and one firm which has the skills and resources to deliver the entire project. This reduces cost, saves time and increases efficiency.”
