RED Construction Group unveils new Special Projects division

RED Construction Group, the specialist main contractor, has announced a new operating division to facilitate the next stage of the company’s growth. Focused on delivering exceptional construction services on building projects valued from £100k to £7m, RED Special Projects joins the company’s regional arms, RED London and RED South West.

RED Special Projects benefits from its relationship with RED Construction Group, with clients having access to the company’s wider supply chain, and having the flexibility to call upon the additional resource of the Group whenever necessary. Working across a wide scope of industries, RED Special Projects primarily focuses on the commercial, residential, hotel, and retail arenas. The team also has extensive expertise in specialist areas such as cladding replacement and enabling works, listed building refurbishments and structural alterations.

Leading the Special Projects team is Construction Director, Nathan Farrar, whose career spans over 25 years with numerous iconic and award-winning developments, including London’s Millennium Bridge and 77 South Audley Street. Overseeing some of the company’s most complex and demanding projects, Nathan joined RED Construction Group in 2017 and leads the specialist team with his proven technical expertise and solution-based approach. Joining Nathan is Commercial Director, Adam Sturge, who has worked at RED Construction Group since its conception. Adam has played a key role in establishing the business and its ongoing relationships with employers, consultant teams and supply chain members alike.

Graham Sturge, CEO, RED Construction Group, commented: "The Special Projects arm was formed, in part, because the success of RED Construction Group was encouraging clients and professional teams to put us forward for larger projects. Given our organic growth into these larger projects, we wanted to introduce a dedicated team to retain a strong focus on sub £7m projects and pursue them with the same vigour and enthusiasm as we did from our first day of operations. With a wealth of experience between them and a longstanding relationship with both RED Construction Group and our clients, Nathan and Adam are the ideal team to be heading up this operation.”

Nathan Farrar, Construction Director, RED Special Projects, added: "Delivering projects throughout London and beyond, RED Special Projects is experienced in inner-city working with restricted sites, logistical challenges, and stringent technical demands. RED Construction Group has worked on these smaller, specialist projects from the outset, however, the formation of RED Special Projects brings the expertise gained through larger scale development while retaining those specific skill sets needed for smaller projects.”

Sitting alongside RED Special Projects is RED London, established experts in complex construction in the capital, and RED South West, offering unparalleled expertise and market knowledge across a wide range of markets in line with regional requirements.
