Gleeson targets smaller works with Parallel Projects Southern

Gleeson's southern construction division has launched a new department called Parallel Projects Southern to bid for smaller projects of up to £5m, a market that Gleeson has so far ignored.
With a low minimum project value of £500,000, the new department will tender for building and refurbishment work in London and the Home Counties.
"We wanted another string to our bow," said Dave Cook, managing director of Gleeson's southern construction division.
Previously, Gleeson had either not bothered to respond to potential clients with sub-£5m schemes or had referred them to
someone else.
"We've had to radically rethink our approach," said John Marchant, one of the two leaders of Gleeson's new department.
