News: Building for the future with SYIF
A leading timber frame construction company is defying the credit-crunch by employing new staff and expanding the business into new areas.
Based at Crown Works, Beighton, Oakworth Homes specialise in the design, construction and completion of timber framed houses for both property developers and people looking to self-build a home.
Despite the negative impact the recession has had on the housing market, Oakworth Homes is going from strength to strength, having recently received a £50,000 loan from South Yorkshire Investment Fund. (SYIF)
The money has enabled the company to employ additional members of staff and move into new market areas such as engineered floor systems, which can be used in a wide variety of construction applications outside of the timber frame construction sector.
John Capper, managing director at Oakworth Homes, said: "The money from SYIF has given us a real boost. We’re now able to provide our customers with engineered floor systems, which means we can look to supply in to new sectors of the construction market.
"The investment has also allowed us to employ additional members of staff and as a result, we are currently preparing to relocate to new, bigger premises at Handsworth, to accommodate our growth."
Andy Chaffer, business director at SYIF, said: "Oakworth Homes really are bucking the trend. The construction and property sectors have been hit hard by the economic downturn, so it’s fantastic to see a local company flourishing despite the difficult climate."
"We look forward to watching Oakworth Homes’ success continue for many years to come."
