Robertson Group’s Post

Robertson Construction North East has been working with Newcastle-based kids' charity Children North East (CNE) for almost twenty years, led by our Business Development Director Martin Westgate. Tens of thousands of pounds has been raised to help CNE make 'life-changing differences for babies, children and young people'. When they came to us to see if we could help make the outdoor space at their Parenting Hub more usable, our team and supply chain jumped at the chance. Martin was guest of honour at the opening and was touched to find the charity had named the covered play space 'Martin's Place', in recognition of his tireless support over the years. #construction #charity #northeast #volunteering #socialimpact Hewitson Limited | James Burrell

Congratulations to Neil Kennedy who has been appointed regional managing director for the North East arm of Robertson Construction. He’s been with the company for over 15 years, and his promotion comes following the retirement of Garry Hope. His diverse portfolio of projects ranges across numerous sectors including education (primary, secondary, and higher education projects), retail, health (primary care and acute), leisure, commercial, industrial, hospitality, student accommodation and residential. In recent years he’s worked on such notable projects as the fast-track construction of the Day Treatment Centre at Freeman Hospital, the Melia hotel at Newcastle Quayside and the Smokehouses residential development of apartments in North Shields. Speaking on his appointment, Neil said: “Robertson Construction North East is going from strength to strength having built a reputation for repeat business and excellent quality. I’ve worked on some exceptional projects with Robertson over the years and growing up, studying and working in the area, it’s important to me to see the positive impact the construction of these buildings has had on the north east.”  https://lnkd.in/eZ33g-qf #appointment #construction #neengland

The Alfred dunhill Links Championship tees off today at the globally famous Old Course in St Andrews, where Robertson Construction Tayside completed the refurbishment and extension of The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews’ Clubhouse earlier this year. The works tripled the basement space, creating new female and male locker rooms and a heritage members’ lounge. Other changes included improvements to the concierge area, new benching, racking for golf trolleys, showers and toilets. Our Regional Managing Director Kevin Dickson said: “Understanding users’ needs and priorities alongside honouring the legacy of R&A was crucial with this project. With the surrounding golf facilities still active, works were delivered to a tee with minimal disruption and great consideration made to the 19th century clubhouse’s architecture.” #Construction #golf #refurbishment #architecture Turner & Townsend | Wellwood Leslie Architects | Narro | GODDARD LITTLEFAIR

Robertson Construction North West has delivered a new SEND school for Tameside Council, managed by New Bridge Multi Academy Trust.     Pupils are enjoying state-of-the-art facilities at the Hawthorns Primary School in Mottram after it opened its doors for the start of the school year earlier this month.    The development (rated BREEAM Official Excellent) accommodates children with a range of complex needs with classrooms spread along two main wings.     Dirk Pittaway, Regional Managing Director, Robertson Construction North West, said: “This is a meaningful project that places the school at the heart of its local community and is another successful job delivered on time for Tameside Council, continuing our strong relationship.”    Each classroom benefits from large outdoor spaces and playground provisions. The school has specialised teaching areas for art and D&T, ICT and life skills, as well as a library, sensory areas and a sports hall. The school is also equipped with a training and family room.      Integrated Health and Safety Solutions | jmarchitects | DEP Landscape Architecture | Alan Johnston Partnership | Hoare Lea | The Energy Council    #Construction #education #sustainability #partnership

Work to transform an underused office building into The Wellsprings, a dynamic new workspace for start-ups, for Bolton Council has now reached practical completion.     Robertson Construction North West began the refurbishment last year, enhancing the building to offer Grade A offices, co-working areas, meeting rooms and more, creating an ideal environment for businesses in the creative and technology sectors to thrive.    Throughout this project, we were committed to making a positive impact on the local community. This included creating jobs, engaging a local supply chain, and offering traineeships and apprenticeships, delivering social and economic benefits even before its opening.    The Wellsprings is one of many projects delivered for Bolton Council through a strategic partnership with Clear Futures.    K2 Architects | Curtins | Hurstwood Environmental Consulting | JSJ UK
