Colas' Birmingham office extension opened

Fri, 06 Jan 2012

Almost 9 years to the day after the original Colas office was first built in Birmingham, Chief Executive Lee Rushbrooke, opened a new extension during a visit by the Board of Directors.

At a cost of over £250,000 the new extension and depot upgrade will provide an additional 9 offices and a state of the art, open plan space, equipped with hi-tech communication and collaboration equipment specifically designed to accommodate bidding and project teams.

This significant investment in one of Colas' main regional offices demonstrates the company's continuing commitment to expanding and improving their facilities as their business grows.

Colas have had a depot at the current Birmingham location since 1985 and it is currently the main operating base for their Airfields, Surface Dressing and Recycling businesses. In addition, their Plant & Transport department have large workshops which support the contract units operating from Birmingham.

Pictured with CEO, Lee Rushbrooke, are John Stevens, one of the longest serving members of staff at the office and Jochen Troeger, Recycling Manager and landlord, who has overseen and project managed the new building.
