Teesside construction firm expands to Leeds

A Teesside-based mechanical, electrical and construction contractor has announced its expansion.

Geoffrey Robinson has announced a permanent base in Leeds.

The company has been headquartered at Cowpen Industrial Estate in Billingham since 1971 and employs over 300 people across various specialities.

Andy Talbot, Geoffrey Robinson executive director, said: “The addition of the Leeds office is a strategic move to bridge the gap between the North East and North West, expanding our reach and enabling us to continue delivering the reliable services that have defined our reputation for over 50 years.”

Key projects delivered over the past 12 months have included a £4 million decarbonisation project at Harrogate District Hospital, the completion of a £7.5 million modular urgent treatment centre at James Cook University Hospital, a £2.5 million pathology ward refurbishment at North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust and a £5 million mechanical package at HMP Millsike, the first prison being delivered under the Alliance 4 New Prisons (A4NP) Framework.

Andy added: “We’re a people business, so it’s exciting to be growing the team and creating more opportunities for work in this region.

“We look forward to seeing the impact that this new team will have on our business.

“A huge thanks must also go to our dedicated teams and fantastic clients, we’re in a strong position, and we look forward to the opportunities ahead.”
