BACKGROUND
Redhills have been conducting works within Scotland for the past 8 years for our National Client Base. 2009 saw a number of contract wins in Scotland prompting a team of staff to be employed in Scotland working as home workers to facilitate contracts.
In 2010 due to further contract wins and strategic growth plans for the business a new office was opened. Within several months the resources within the office have substantially increased and the client base has grown and matured. The office facilitates a number of framework contracts as well as working with a large number of ad hoc and reactive works and supporting our National Contracts. We continue to grow this office and recruit within the Region. The office provides asbestos consultancy services throughout Scotland.
MIDLANDS OFFICE
BACKGROUND
Redhills Midland office opened in 2003 after a number of successful contract wins in the region. Our core staff worked with a stable client base for a number of years meeting the requirements of both local and national clients. In 2010 larger offices were moved into within the same property to support additional staff that were employed in the region to facilitate new contract wins.
The office facilitates a number of Framework Contracts in a number of sectors including University of Reading, University of Cambridge, Sainsbury’s, Screwfix, Specsavers and Birmingham City Council. The office continues to look for key areas of growth and additional staff will be brought in to facilitate this where required.
SECTOR – Industrial
SERVICE – Asbestos Assessment
Background
A distribution centre based in the North West of England occupying a former asbestos processing factory. This global distribution company is committed to managing asbestos in its non-domestic properties. Following a review of a third party asbestos survey several areas containing high-risk asbestos containing materials were identified.
The client recognises and is committed to providing a safe working environment for all employees and complying with current UK asbestos regulations. The challenge facing this distributer was to assess the scale and nature of the problem quickly in order to take the appropriate action whilst maintaining a distribution facility working to strict stock movement deadlines.
Project Details
Redhills were employed to carry out an urgent review of all asbestos information pertinent to the sites and make recommendations. A Principal Consultant was able to attend site within a few hours of the initial instruction.

This contract encompasses all aspects of asbestos management including Management and Refurbishment / Demolition surveys, annual re-inspections and air monitoring. The portiolio covered within the remit of the contract includes not only all the high street branches but all commercial office premises and warehousing locations nationwide.
