The Stourbridge-based Western region of construction services company Mansell has launched a new Health division to look after health service contracts across the Midlands.

Mansell has successfully completed several significant health contracts in recent years, including large scale primary care and extra care facilities, hospital extensions and refurbishments. Now, this work has been pulled together under a dedicated health team.

Leading the team is Martin Farrell, who was previously construction manager of Mansell's Building Solutions division.

Martin Farrell said members of the team had been working together for some time and had extensive experience in the health sector.

"With NHS statistics showing that patient environments can significantly improve the healing process, the importance of working with the right design and build team is more evident than ever. The new Health division offers excellence in customer satisfaction, which is reflected in the high proportion of repeat business opportunities and the ability to deliver national targets without compromising local needs," he said.

Mansell is a construction partner of choice with national capability and regional delivery to the community. Through various procurement models with both public and private sector customers, the company develops long term sustainable relationships in specific market sectors, including affordable housing, education, health, defence, airports, interiors and commercial, culture and heritage..
