Avant Homes searching for local expertise to help deliver 173 new homes in Chesterfield
Chesterfield-based housebuilder Avant Homes Central is searching for local contractors and tradespeople from around the region to help it deliver 173 homes on its exciting new development.
The developer is holding a ‘Meet the Buyer’ event from 10am-3pm on Friday 9 August at Chesterfield Borough Council, Town Hall , Rose Hill in Chesterfield, where interested businesses will be able to meet key decision makers and find out how they can tender to be involved in the construction of its Waterside Quarter development.
Initial earthworks are already underway on the £36m Waterside Quarter development, which is a key part of the £340m Chesterfield Waterside regeneration scheme on the edge of Chesterfield town centre.
Avant Homes Central managing director, Stuart Rowlands, said: “We want to support Chesterfield businesses and create jobs for local people in the construction of our developments in the town. There are a wide range of opportunities for skilled tradespeople to help us build 173 homes and I’d encourage all local businesses to join us at this event and learn more about how they can tender for the numerous jobs available.”
Opportunities at Waterside Quarter include brickwork, scaffolding, roof tiling, windows, joinery, electrical installation, plumbing and heating, wall insulation, loft insulation, plastering, painting and decorating, wall tiling, mastic and sealants, cleaning, fencing, landscaping and more.
Councillor Terry Gilby, cabinet member for economic growth, said: “There is more than £1 billion of investment currently underway in Chesterfield and one of the council’s key priorities is that Chesterfield residents directly benefit from this by getting new jobs, business and skills and training opportunities.
“This is an exciting project that will see 173 new homes built in the borough, so I would encourage any local business with an interest in being a part of this project to attend the Meet the Buyer event to find out what opportunities may be available for their workforce.
“In addition to the Meet the Buyer event, Avant Homes will also be hoping to employ apprentices on site to further support skills development in the town.”
Avant Homes Central is located at Holmewood Business Park on Chesterfield Road. Its development operations cover South Yorkshire, Derbyshire, North Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire.
