Construction & Engineering Awards 2020 BUILD 27 The UK construction industry is an extremely competitive one to operate in, however as Ian points out, the firm has a rather unique selling point which they are able to offer their clients. “All directors take a hands-on approach, so we are always very close to each scheme. By setting high standards and putting Health and Safety first, we care about what we do and are always looking to improve. Standing still would result in us being no better than our competitors and that is not what we want to do. If we strive to improve on what we have already achieved, then there is every chance the business will grow with each opportunity.” Finally, Ian comments on the future prospects of Hughes Bros Construction as he looks ahead to the remainder of 2020 and beyond. “Having invested massive amounts already, and continually since lockdown, on machines, plant and more, we are well prepared for what lies ahead. North East England always endures tougher times than most, but as a company, you have to face both positive and negative issues. Moreover, with new schemes commencing at Elwick Hartlepool and New Hartley Whitley Bay for Barratt Homes NE, these are exciting times.” The firm also has a new scheme of R&S alongside Plot-works to twelve plots on first release commencing on Barley Gate 3 site Birtley Gateshead for Avant Homes NE this month. Ian also says, ‘we are in discussions with a few of our other clients as they all look forward to a good build in 2021’.
