Alpha Projects said the move will allow the firm to pursue larger contracts and offer a broader range of services, including landscaping and site works such as foundation and drainage systems.

New building and civils manager Andy Pratt joins the firm having spent the last six years running his own civils contracting company.

Alpha Projects said: “Andy and his team bring valued experience and expertise to Alpha Projects as we continue to grow and expand our service offering.

“Enhancing the skill set within the company will allow us to undertake a greater variety of projects and this move follows an increase in opportunities presenting themselves to the business.

“We look forward to working with the new team.”
