Lawrence has invested £250,000 in recruiting and training up
new staff for its push into the low-pressure gas market. The
investment has already started to pay off with the award of three
contracts in Yorkshire, Hemel Hempstead and Bristol.
"Low pressure was the one area of gas work we weren't in," said Hargreaves, "and it's a very buoyant market right now. Having trained up new gangs, we immediately found them work. We're still taking people on, both untrained and trained, all over the UK."
Hargreaves has achieved his aim of creating four operating divisions within Lawrence and all with a similar turnover: pipelines, process plant, utilities and civils.
"We started the civils operation from scratch and it's gone well," said Hargreaves. "It does turnkey work with the other three divisions, as well as stand-alone projects for external clients."
