Seddon Lands New Partnering Deal On Doorstep
Seddon has reinforced its healthy trading position in its home county after securing a major new contract with Staffordshire County Council.
Building on the strong foundations of an existing working relationship, the company has been appointed by the local authority as a supplier for its new Northern Area Maintenance contract.
A three-year Partnering deal, it predominately involves undertaking maintenance and minor building works to council premises, including educational buildings, in the north of the county.
This is the third partnering contract Seddon has secured with the local authority, demonstrating just how well the two organisations have been able to work together in maintaining occupied public buildings.
Earlier this year Seddon was appointed a supplier for the council’s new capital framework deal, and in 2003 it won a five-year contract to undertake maintenance and minor works in the south of the county.
Alan Nixon managing director of Seddon’s building company, which has its headquarters in Duke Street, Fenton, Stoke-on-Trent – will be leading the project, supported by local director, Kevin Wood.
Mr Nixon said: “We are absolutely delighted to be chosen as one of the contractors appointed for the Northern Area Maintenance Contract.
“The fact that we have been chosen is a testimony to the excellent partnership that has developed between Seddon and the local authority over the past few years. Since the beginning of our original Partnership Agreement in 2003, we have built a strong relationship, which has allowed us to improve service delivery year on year.
“During the long selection process - involving a submission, interview and site visits - Seddon has also been able to demonstrate its ‘think local’ and innovative approach to the industry.
“This includes offering a genuine commitment to the community, working closely with the local supply chain and manufacturers, as well as running an award winning apprenticeship scheme and taking active measures to preserve and protect the environment.
“We believe it is this attitude, together with our proven track record of working within occupied public buildings with a minimum of disruption to the clients, that has brought us success in partnering deals such as this.”
As well as holding agreements with Staffordshire County Council, the company has partnering contracts with Cheshire County Council and the University of Keele. It also holds Partnering contracts across the UK, from both its building, painting and maintenance companies.
