ISG Jackson - General - UK, ISG Jackson Celebrates Successful New Union

Date: 14 Dec 2006

The integration of Jackson Construction into Interior Services Group Plc has proved a highly successful move for the East Anglian construction company, with turnover over the past three months up to a record £22 million. The company, which re-branded to become ISG Jackson in September this year, has witnessed immediate business benefits from this new union, with a rapidly expanding forward order book and enhanced volume and quality of tender opportunities.

ISG Plc, which provides new build, refurbishment and fit out services for owners, developers and occupiers, acquired the Ipswich-based main contractor in 2005. The recent adoption of the ISG prefix highlights the company's successful integration within the enlarged group, further enhancing the reputation of the contractor in its core regional markets and generating significant business benefits.

ISG Jackson continues to carve a niche as a highly regarded social housing partner and has recently secured four-year framework deals with the Bedfordshire Pilgrims Housing Association and Nottingham Community Housing Association. The contractor is also finalising details on schemes with a combined total value of over £26 million, which are due to start on site by early New Year.

Bernard Clarke, managing director of ISG Jackson, commented: "The speed with which the business has embraced its integration within ISG Plc, and the immediate benefits that we have derived highlights the real success of this process. By combining the qualities and values that made the Jackson brand such a dominant force within the south of England, with the drive, commitment and backing of ISG Plc, ISG Jackson is ideally placed to enhance its influence and take a greater share of business across key industry sectors."
