Northumberland construction company Merit Holdings is toasting rising revenues and profits on the back of lucrative contract wins within its health offshoot.
The Cramlington firm, which has almost doubled its workforce to more than 220 people in the last two years, has built up a reputation for working on complex, high-tech contracts across a range of sectors including healthcare, pharmaceutical, energy, manufacturing, retail, commercial and nuclear.
Less than two years ago the specialist engineering and construction firm – a former North East Company of the Year – launched Merit Health, to recognise its expertise in the health and life sciences sector. Since its launch the firm has won and completed a number of significant projects, including a £66m scheme in Stevenage and the expansion of the rapid response facility in Darlington for CPI.
