Marshall Construction has won a £17.8 million contract to build 14 warehouses for whisky company Chivas Brothers, its largest contract win to date.

Four triple warehouses and one double facility will be created over a 120-week period at the Willowyard, Beith site.

Situated between Kilbirnie Loch and the town of Beith, the site is well known to Marshall Construction as the firm has worked there for over ten years.

Stephen Walker, contracts manager, said: “Marshall Construction demonstrated an impressive approach to the project, as we had a clear ability to address the challenges of the current site, resulting in the best cost and programme outcomes. We are excited about continuing our relationship with Chivas Brothers and Charles Scott and Partners.”

Robert Marshall, managing director, added: “We are thrilled to have been given the opportunity to work at Willowyards again. When we started talking to Charles Scott & Partners following our tender submission it was clear that they shared the same belief that partnership working is the way forward, selecting the best skills for the job – This is what differentiates us in the marketplace. Marshall Construction continues to deliver first class projects even when up against stiff competition and we are delighted that this is our largest contract win to date.

“We had a great start to our year with all Operating Divisions having strong contract wins, but without doubt, this latest win is the icing on the cake. It is almost twice the size of any other contract we have been awarded in our thirty two year history and marks a step change in terms of project work in our company portfolio.”
