Coleshill-based firm Frank Haslam Milan (FHM) West Midlands is celebrating its bumper workforce after taking on 82 new recruits throughout 2009.
The community regeneration specialist (which forms part of the Keepmoat group) has defied the economic recession by creating new posts ranging from Site Managers, to Tenant Liaison Officers, Labourers, Quantity Surveyors and Planners.
Among the new starters, FHM has also taken on 13 apprentices and five trainees to work on a variety of multi-million pound refurbishment and new build schemes across the West Midlands.
The new jobs were made possible due to a number of large contract wins including a £17 million major works contract with Walsall Housing Group (whg), an £8.4 million Extra Care scheme at Coseley for Midland Heart and a £6.8 million new build scheme for Birmingham Municipal Housing Trust.
FHM’s Managing Director Fraser Mercer said: “The creation of new jobs in times of economic hardship is good news not only for Frank Haslam Milan, but also the wider region and the local communities in which we work.
“We’re doing well in our market, which thankfully remains buoyant and winning major contracts has certainly helped the organisation to expand. We are confident that we will continue to grow and recruit in 2010.”
