KDH in line for double award
Nominated for the East Midlands
Employer of the Year Award
The company has been nominated due to its positive approach towards apprentices and its intensive training programme for them. Its current office apprentice, Victoria Hollamby, has also been nominated for Apprentice of the Year in the East Midlands area. KDH projects training manager, Joe Deamer, said:
“We approach apprenticeships with a great deal of enthusiasm. Although we are a construction company, we don’t just limit our apprenticeships to the construction trades. We currently have two apprentices out on site and one office based. The apprentice system is beneficial to both KDH and its trainees. They are learning valuable experience in their trades and we are improving the skills of future employees that are vital to our company’s growth. Without the young trainees coming through, our company cannot continue to expand and improve in these tough economic climates.”

Food production area expansion project
Total cost £233k - project completed in 6 weeks
KDH Projects recently completed an expansion project to increase the size of a fresh soup production facility by 60%. A turnkey solution was designed in conjunction with the client, including the management of their preferred process engineering contractor. KDH Project's specialist teams of direct employees were responsible for all areas of flooring, insulated panel, electrical and mechanical works which were completed during the clients busiest production period. This was achieved without any interruption to the operation.
Dual time critical factory refurbishments
Total cost £440k - completed to deadline in 6 weeks
A regular customer of KDH Projects recently entrusted us with two fast track turnkey refurbishment projects vitally important to their positive synergy plans. Both projects commenced without any lead times and being able to draw on our resources from our specialist in house teams and our material stocks, it meant the Christmas shutdown didn't cause any delays to the projects.
Both projects were completed on time and budget which allowed our customer to transfer products in line with their plans.
Food Manufacturer BRC Audit
Completed for £26k in four factory shutdown periods
KDH Projects conducted an in house BRC Audit for a fresh meat client. The required fabric remedial works were completed within tight shutdown windows with no interruption to the client or their customers. Works were completed over a very short time period to gain an A grade, the first in their field.
