Ray Connolly Group Managing Director said “We are already a national business but in the South Midlands between our London and Birmingham offices I felt we needed a strong, local presence to provide an increased level of service.

“Venture Contracts have a strong team and will add value and will thrive working with our customers whilst strengthening our delivery capabilities across Central, South and the East Midlands”.

Emma Charles Director of Venture Contracts added: “Over the last 11 years we have worked hard to build our reputation and team. We are inspired by the vision of Fawkes & Reece and we will be better equipped to support our customers.

“The team and I are really excited to get going and being part of Fawkes & Reece will really help take us all further”.

The acquisition provides Fawkes & Reece with its seventh regional office across the UK and over 150 members of staff. Emma Charles takes up the role of Director for blue collar across both London and the Midlands.
