Fletchers celebrates £6m business wins and doubles Eccles base

Fletchers Engineering is celebrating £6m of new business and is doubling the size of its Eccles operation.

The engineering solutions company has been appointed by Morrisons Utility Services, to provide service installations for a new battery storage facility in Roosecote, Barrow. The facility, being built for Centrica, will be one of the largest in the UK. Fletchers is delivering stainless steel pipework services, steelwork & prefabricated service modules.

In addition, the team will be providing steelworks, access platforms and cooling systems for two large data centres in the South of England, while closer to home at MediaCity, the company is carrying out an upgrade to a new energy efficient heating system at Victoria Building for Peel.

Finally, retained client David Lloyd has confirmed that Fletchers will be expanding its remit by managing the maintenance of all of its Northern leisure centres on a three-year contract.

Steve Fletcher, MD, commented: “It has been a hugely successful 2018 so far and we are delighted to be working with such high-profile and interesting clients. To help manage the additional work, we have acquired an 18,000 sq ft warehouse close to our current base – we will be looking to expand our 140 strong team and add a new fleet of vehicles in the coming months.”
