CCL Facades Secure New Multi-Million-Pound Contract With Eric Wright Construction

Facade specialists, CCL Facades, is set to grow its North West project portfolio with its appointment to deliver a multi-million-pound contract, on behalf of Eric Wright Construction, for a global pharmaceutical company at their new facility in Wirral.

The contract will see CCL Facades design, supply and deliver a full facade, including a steel framing solution, the curtain walling, windows, glass roof lights for the winter wardens and louvers, along with the three dimensional aluminum cladding for the two-storey, 37,000 sq.ft building in Moreton, where the global pharmaceutical company is expanding its existing campus.

CCL Facades’ work, which will reach completion at the end of this year, will comprise the company’s own Speedpanel products, including steel-faced A2-rated spandrel panels, which are manufactured in the UK.

Targeting a BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ accreditation, the new laboratory will include a curtain walling system and roof lights from Runcorn-based Kawneer and aluminium cladding from Lancashire-based Proteus Facades.

The new contract is the largest to be delivered by CCL Facades in the North West following its inception in 2022.

The new lab adds to CCL Facades’ growing portfolio of high-profile developments across the north, which also includes Muse Developments and Bradford City Council One City Park, which achieved a BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating.

Tony Blake, Managing Director at CCL Facades, comments: “Investments in new research developments, particularly those of high prominence such as this, have to balance both aesthetic and exceptionally high technical standards; our clients want striking buildings that perform at the best they possibly can. Our bespoke facade solutions strike this balance, and our growing portfolio of projects is a testament to the quality of our work but also allows us to flex our capabilities and deliver ambitious facade solutions. We look forward to working with the team at Eric Wright Construction and growing our presence across the north.”

Steve Reid, Pre-Construction Director at Eric Wright Construction added “It has been a pleasure working with CCL in the collaborative development of the bespoke and complex façade design which will deliver a highly sustainable and exceptional facility for our client. It’s great to see the works continuing to progress at pace, with the next programme milestone of water tightness planned in the very near future.”
