The firm has been steadily building its reputation for delivery in the sector.

This included delivery of the NHS Nightingale Hospital at Birmingham NEC, completing the first phase in just 13 days.

Also a major refurbishment and extension earlier this year of Liverpool Women’s Neonatal Unit – creating the largest unit of its kind in the UK.

On the strength of this Interserve has now secured another big batch of projects including Walsall Manor Hospital for upgrades relating to winter pressures, Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital for the construction of new specialist units and a major contract to refurbish the Prince Charles Hospital in Merthyr Tydfil.

Paul Gandy, Managing Director of Interserve Construction said: “We are pleased to have recently secured a further £148m worth of new business in healthcare, one of our key strategic markets.

“This progress shows our strategy is working under our new leadership team, focussed on delivering best in class facilities where the business can leverage its strong capabilities in order to create value for clients.”
