A single order to the tune of £7.7 million has been given to Kershaw Mechanical Services - the highest sum ever secured by the company.
The company won the million pound deal to undertake mechanical work for a residential mental health site at St Andrews Hospital in Northampton.

The 16 month contract is the third repeat order at the site for Kershaw, working with main contractor G B Building Solutions. The £46 million scheme will provide residential men’s health facilities on the same site.

Sales director Ian Greenstock said: “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.”

Greenstock 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 Kershaw Group, which employs 183 people and has headquarters in Cambridge. Parts of the Kershaw Group are more than a hundred years old and Kershaw Mechanical Services was established in 1947.
