About us

Founded in early 2007, Build Up North Staffordshire aims to ensure that the wealth created by major building and regeneration projects across the region benefits local companies.

It also makes sourcing high quality services as easy as possible for buyers from large companies working in the area.

It acts as a support network highlighting tender opportunities within the public and private sector to enable local companies to bid for this work. Training is also offered to companies needing to develop and enhance their employees’ skills set and give themselves the best possible chance of successfully competing for work.

Over 500 suppliers of services to the construction industry have signed up from bricklayers and plumbers to electricians and architects, along with dozens of influential contractors, and such is the success of this innovative support network that it has now been expanded to offer the same level of service to the Low Carbon and Creative Industries.

Organisations such as Kier Stoke, Mansell, Lovell Construction, Aspire, North Staffordshire Housing, Compendium, as well as Stoke on Trent City Council, currently use Build Up to source and buy construction related services.   

Build Up project manager, Nigel Barrett explains: “The original remit was to make sure that building companies, supply chains and anybody linked to the construction sector based in North Staffordshire was in the best possible shape to benefit from the investments being made.” 

“We are currently telling our members about an average of £10m worth of contracts each month.  Local construction businesses have prospered as a result of joining Build Up, we want to help local companies in the Low Carbon and Creative Industries to experience the same level of benefits and growth” says Nigel.

In addition, the help and advice given to local companies by Build Up, through Business Link West Midlands, has been a huge success.

Build Up North Staffordshire is using the area’s regeneration as an opportunity to create flourishing local Construction, Low Carbon and Creative Industries that truly benefit from the millions of pounds worth of building and development projects currently planned for North Staffordshire.
