Caddick Construction is seeking local suppliers and subcontractors to help deliver its North East construction project pipeline, as the contractor looks to expand its operations across the region.

Caddick is looking for trades to deliver a variety of private and public sector developments including works in the following markets:
- Industrial
- Logistics & manufacturing
- High-rise residential
- Commercial
- Education
- Healthcare
Trades sought include groundworks and concrete frame, piling, earthworks, construction and refurbishment, plastering, masonry, aluminium windows, glazing and facades as well as joinery, cladding, steelworks, flooring, tiling, dry lining, roofing and MEP.
The contractor is set to host a Meet the Buyer event in partnership with compliance and risk management provider Veriforce CHAS, where North East-based businesses can find out how to become part of Caddick’s regional supply chain.
As part of the business’ recent annual results, Caddick Construction Group fulfilled a commitment to buying local with nearly 70 per cent of its supply chain spend going to businesses within 30 miles of its project sites.
“In all regions that Caddick currently operates within, enlisting a high-quality and local supply chain is vital to our success on site, and in helping us create a meaningful impact on the communities in which we build by ensuring we support local employment,” said Steve Ford, regional MD at Caddick in Yorkshire and the North East.
“Working with local businesses not only ensures efficiency in our build programmes, but it also encourages sustainable practices throughout.
“We look forward to welcoming suppliers and subcontractors across the region to meet with us and explore our exciting pipeline of new work coming up across the North East.”
Contractors are invited to meet with the Veriforce CHAS team on the day, to learn how they can achieve CHAS accreditation, demonstrating their compliance with health and safety standards.
The event will take place on 7 August, from 8am – 12pm in the Legend’s Lounge at Middlesbrough Football Ground.
Local businesses are invited to sign up for the event by visiting this link, emailing clients@chas.co.uk or calling 0345 521 9333.
