Midas targets Midlands and South East expansion

West of England builder Midas Group has opened new offices in the Midlands and South East in a big push towards becoming a national contractor.

The Exeter-based builder has moved into new offices in Leatherhead to serve the South East, and an office in Longbridge to serve its growth plans in the West Midlands.

After successfully developing Midas’s recently formed Southern Division into a £50m-plus business based out of Southampton, Paul Strachan moves to become divisional director in the South East.

He will be replaced by Peter Whitmore, who recently joined from Wates as divisional director for the Southern region.

The Birmingham office will come under Derek Quinn, Midas director for Wessex, Wales and the Midlands.

Midas Group chief Alan Hope said: “”We’ve been asked by more and more of our clients to move up into the Midlands. The new Birmingham office is a direct response to customer demand.

“In the South East we have experienced strong growth in recent years and we see significant potential with the establishment of a new regional headquarters to further grow the business in this area.

“Our Vision at Midas is to be leaders in customer service and performance and to be recognised as such by our customers, potential customers and the wider industry.”

He added that more than 75% of Midas projects are being carried out on a repeat business basis.

“This gives us confidence in the potential for further profitable growth and geographic expansion of the business.”
