Scaffolding contractors Airwright Midland has secured a substantial scaffolding package to support the construction of 154 new homes in Stratford-upon-Avon.

Starting in June, the Redditch based scaffolders will be providing a traditional build program that will be erected progressively for its client the Vistry Group at the former Long Marston Airfield.

The disused airfield is currently being transformed into one of the UK’s first new garden villages that will eventually include up to 3,500 new homes and a six-hectare business park.

Commenting on the award announcement, Adrian Cole at Airwright Midland said: “We are looking forward to working with Vistry again who have one of the industries more robust specifications which is fantastic for us and shows a real commitment to safety.

The site consists of 3-5 bed homes aimed at the aspirational client which does very well in this area as we already have a site located next door for St Modwen Homes.”

“We have moved to this site with the same site manager Kieron Wheeler and build team who have just completed Weights Lane in Redditch and who won a NHBC award for pride in the job.

Fingers crossed we can emulate the success we had there and secure him his second. Hopefully this project will run as smoothly as the previous and we can’t wait to get started in June.”
