NG Developments, a Yorkshire based curtain walling and rainscreen cladding specialist, has continued its fine start to the year by securing several new contracts and completing three new large retail outlets worth more than £600k.

NG Developments celebrated the New Year by scooping more than £2million worth of new manufacturing contracts and March and April were even more fruitful.

NG Developments (Normanton) Ltd, based in Normanton, Wakefield is now recognised as one of the UK’s leading specialists in design, manufacturing and installation of architectural aluminium glazing and Rainscreen Cladding systems and its reputation is growing.

The business has been on a huge recruitment drive in the last six months and it has hired three more new team members in March and April. Two experienced draughtsmen and a new fabricator have joined the Normanton team. Collectively the company has now grown by more than 40% in less than 12 months but the directors are prudent and are determined to control expansion.

Adrian Lee, commercial director at NG commented: “With the budget being announced recently it is clear that times are tough and we have all seen that in the construction and manufacturing sectors. However, the sun has finally come out in 2011 and I believe Spring is also here in the economy too. Whilst we continue to build strong working partnerships with our current client base, we are being approached frequently by a number of potential new clients of late and are in the infancy stages of developing further partnerships.”

NG Developments has recently completed three different supermarkets (see enclosed images) including a new Sainsburys store in Nantwich. The 60,000 sq ft Nantwich store was the first project for NG working with Bowmer and Kirkland. As a result of the success of this partnership, NG has recently secured a further Sainsburys development with B and K at Welwyn Garden City.  To add to this, NG has been awarded another Tesco extension contract in Mansfield for Vinci.

Sainsbury’s press release describes the reasons behind the Nantwich project:

The store on Middlewich Road was knocked down and rebuilt to offer an extra 23,500 sq ft of sales space. In addition to a new Sainsbury’s café on the upper level with panoramic views of the store, the 60,000 sq ft superstore now has a full range of clothing, homeware and electrical products. Its range of counters has also been extended with new pizza and deli counters.

Lee continued: “We are establishing some really strong working partnerships which have helped us move the business forward over the last twelve months. We know that to grow in this sector you must be careful and not grow too quickly, so we have made a conscious decision to grow wisely rather than rapidly. However, we do expect to be recruiting again over the near future.”

NG Developments is also in contract negations on a number of other glazing projects which will help to secure a significant workload for the foreseeable future.
