Construction services company J Tomlinson has opened a new West Midlands headquarters after experiencing expansion in the region.

The firm has also announced plans to create around ten additional jobs.

The company has transferred its West Midlands base from Birmingham to larger offices in Canwell, near Sutton Coldfield.

J Tomlinson said the move came as a result of a number of significant contract wins and an expansion in the number of staff.

It is working on several ongoing contracts in the West Midlands, including a four-year framework contract by Warwickshire Police and West Mercia Police which is now part of a joint property vehicle with four other public sector bodies known as Place Partnerships.

And last year, the firm won a five-year contract to replace kitchens and bathrooms in around 1,600 properties in the West Midlands for housing organisation Midland Heart.

Chief executive Mark Davis said: "J Tomlinson has worked in the West Midlands for many years and, on the back of a growing portfolio of projects and an increasing reputation in the region, opened an initial base in Birmingham last year.

"Since then, as a result of further expansion, the company has outgrown the space and we are delighted to have opened a new headquarters at Canwell which will allow us to continue to serve our existing clients and work with additional public and private clients in the West Midlands as we continue to broaden our portfolio."

J Tomlinson is based in Nottingham and works across the West Midlands, East Midlands and Yorkshire, employing more than 400 people.
