Phoenix Brickwork / SFS / Scaffold

We wanted to give a very special shout out to our two fantastic brickwork gangs working on one of our HMP projects!

Over the past few weeks, the teams have worked incredibly hard to get the site and foundations ready for a major push forward on programme. Thanks to their teamwork and dedication, brickwork is now officially underway.

A special mention goes to Lefko, Mykola and Viacheslav, alongside Jamie, Mihai, Bogdan, Craig and Morgan, whose hard work and positive attitude have helped achieve this important milestone.

It's great to see the progress being made, and we look forward to watching the project continue to take shape. Keep up the fantastic work, lads!

A huge congratulations to Darren Burkinshaw on being awarded the Tilbury Douglas Health & Safety Award – a fantastic achievement and well-deserved recognition.

Darren consistently demonstrates an outstanding work ethic, takes great pride in delivering high-quality workmanship, and leads by example when it comes to health and safety.

Site Manager Terry Moore commented:
"As always, Darren can be trusted for his excellent work ethic, high-quality workmanship, and his commitment to maintaining the highest health and safety standards."

Well done, Darren!

After 11 incredible years with Phoenix, it was time to celebrate the retirement of one of our very own legends... Uncle Jim! 🎉

The Head Office team got together at a local pub for food, drinks and plenty of laughs to mark this special occasion and give Jim the send-off he truly deserves.

Over the past 11 years, Jim has become so much more than a colleague. He's been a friendly face, a source of wisdom, and someone who has always brought humour and positivity to the workplace.

While the office won't be quite the same without him, we're incredibly grateful for everything he has done for Phoenix over the years. His retirement is thoroughly deserved, and we hope this next chapter brings him plenty of relaxation, new adventures, and lots of time doing the things he enjoys most.

Thank you for everything, Jim. You'll always be part of the Phoenix family.

Happy Retirement! 🍻👏

We’re pleased to announce that Phoenix Brickwork has secured the masonry package at the Castle Activity & Fitness Centre in Spalding through our valued client, Willmott Dixon.

The project forms part of a major £28.38 million transformational development that will deliver improved health, wellbeing, leisure and community facilities for local residents in South Holland. The new hub is set to include swimming facilities, fitness and exercise spaces, health and wellbeing consultation rooms, sports facilities and wider community-focused areas designed to support healthier lifestyles for generations to come.

The scheme is being delivered by Alliance Leisure, via the UK Leisure Framework, on behalf of South Holland District Council. The council received £20 million of Government investment to improve health and wellbeing outcomes in South Holland through enhanced sport, recreation and leisure facilities, alongside the closer integration of health and wellbeing services for residents. Combined with a further £8.38 million contribution from the Council, this has created a significant project for the local area.

Early works began in Spring 2025, with main works commencing in Autumn 2025, and the new facilities due to open to the public in early 2027.

We’re proud to be involved in a project that will play such an important role within the local community and look forward to delivering a high-quality package as works progress.

A big thank you to Willmott Dixon for their continued trust and support — we’re excited to see this one take shape

We’re pleased to announce that Phoenix Brickwork and BMH Scaffolding have been awarded the brickwork and scaffolding packages at Joseph Norton Academy by our valued client Wates Construction.

The new purpose-built academy in Huddersfield will provide a modern, specialist learning environment for children and young people with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, increasing school places from 63 to 132 and helping more young people access high-quality education closer to home. The development will deliver a state-of-the-art facility designed to better support pupils aged 4–18 years and their individual needs.

We’re proud to be involved in a project that will make a lasting difference to the local community and support future generations.

A huge thank you to Wates Construction for their continued trust and support.
