Hampshire-based Herbert H Drew & Son has fallen into administration with over 20 jobs at risk.
Founded in 1908 to build homes in the New Forest area, Drew grew to become prominent throughout most of central southern and south-west England taking on projects for public and private clients worth up to £8m.
The New Milton-based contractor reached revenue of around £20m and worked for schhols, colleges and housing associations like Sovereign where its was working a a small flats scheme in Christchurch.
It also recently handed over Marwell Zoo’s £8m Tropical House and before that completed a new STEM building for Brokenhusr College and converted an old sorting office in Bournemouth into 83 apartments over five storeys.
West Midlands insolvency specialist Elwell Watchorn & Saxton is handling the administration.
A Sovereign spokesman said: “We were naturally very sorry to hear one of our contractors, H H Drew Construction, has gone into administration.
“We’re committed to delivering seven new affordable homes at Melbourne Road and Tensing Road in Christchurch and will be looking for a new contractor to get on site as soon as possible.”
