A principal contractor has opened a new office in Cardiff to strengthen its commitment to Wales and the South West.

Inco Contracts, which works with industrial, commercial, and education clients across the UK, has invested £215,000 in the new office at Quest House on St Mellons Business Park.

The company has targeted the region due to a significant rise in dilapidation schemes and a surge in demand from existing partners operating in the area.

It has already secured three new contracts and is hoping to generate £3 million of revenue in its first year, creating up to eight new jobs in the process.

Adam Bidhendy, the newly appointed regional director for Wales and the South West, said: "We looked at a number of locations, but chose Cardiff due to its excellent transport network, access to a strong local supply chain and the fact a number of building consultancy clients have a variety of exciting new project opportunities in the city and surrounding areas.

"There’s a lot of regeneration going on here and this office will give us the perfect base to manage new appointments and actively target opportunities in commercial, industrial and educational refurbishments."

Inco Contracts is a specialist in industrial, commercial, and education refurbishment schemes across the UK.

The company completes hundreds of projects every year, often working alongside architects, designers, and landlords to bring warehouses, educational establishments, and office spaces up to modern-day standards.

The services provided by Inco Contracts range from industrial roof and cladding, dilapidation schemes, building services, M&E installations, and soft strip-outs, to heritage and conservation work.

Sam Norton, operations director, said: "The short-term aim is to establish our satellite office and name in Cardiff and the wider Wales and South West region.

"This will be by tapping into existing clients and attracting new ones, with nearly £300,000 of contracts already in place for industrial and retail refurbishments.

"Adam’s appointment a few months ago will be instrumental to our growth.

"He has so much experience and contacts in the region and gets the Inco values of customer service, innovation and delivering on our promises."
