DU Construction, Anglesey’s largest construction company is expanding, building a new operational centre and investing in new plant to be in pole position to maximise opportunities from the Wylfa Newydd development and other projects on the island.
The £470,000 investment, which has been supported by £210,000 from the Welsh Government’s Economic Growth Fund, will create twenty new jobs within Anglesey Enterprise Zone.
Construction of their new centre on Penrhos Industrial Estate, Holyhead, starts this month and will include offices designed to BREEAM specifications, substantial storage facilities, a new joinery workshop and new plant and equipment.
DU Construction works across the construction sector for the public and private sectors including new build, heritage, renovation and property maintenance work as well as demolition. It has also been involved with Horizon Nuclear Power’s supply chain for nearly three years working on projects related to the planned new power station.
Director Mark Blackwell who started the business in 1992 said: “Business is really taking off now after the recession and we have seen turnover increase year on year. There are a number of opportunities in the pipeline and we are delighted to have worked with Horizon Nuclear Power and look forward to working with them in the future.”
