Allen's "excellent start"


Allen Group has had an excellent start to the year, with all sectors performing strongly, said chairman Donald Greenhalgh at the firm's AGM last week.

In the first three months of the new financial year, Allen's building divisions won contracts worth over œ13 million. Speaking in Manchester, Greenhalgh said: "Work in hand is at record levels."

Allen subsidiary DJ Ryan has rolling contracts, let on a 3-5 year cycle, with North West Water, Norweb and British Gas distributor Transco.

The new cycle with North West Water started on 1 April. The client plans to spend œ60 million over the next three years. The company has won two of North West Water's regions: West Manchester and South Lakes. Depots have been established in both areas and extra workforce have been signed on.
