£7.7 million order is biggest ever order for Kershaw Group

The Kershaw Group has received the biggest single order in its history for a major hospital project in Northampton.

Kershaw Mechanical Services has won the £7.7 million mechanical work for the Residential Mental Health Facility at St Andrews Hospital.

The 16 month contract is the third repeat order at the site for Kershaw, working with main contractor G B Building Solutions.

In all, the £46 million scheme will provide residential men's health facilities, similar to the previously completed Malcolm Arnold and Smyth House on the same site.

Sales director Ian Greenstock said: "Parts of the Kershaw Group date back more than a hundred years, and Kershaw Mechanical Services has been in existence since 1947.

"We've seen consistent growth for decades, now turning over more than £40 million. But it's still thrilling to beat all previous records with a single order like this."

Ian added: "We are looking forward to working with G B Building Solutions on yet another major construction project."

Kershaw Mechanical Services is the lead company of the successful Kershaw Group, which employs 183 people and has its head office in Cambridge.

The group is a major sponsor of Cambridge United.

Kershaw Mechanical Services has also sponsored the Cambridgeshire Football Association Premier Leagues – known as the Kershaw Leagues – for 19 years.
