Russell wins £1m roof tile deal on Lovell MoD job

Russell Roof Tiles has won its largest single project order in five years to deliver £1m worth of pitched roof tiles and accessories for a £250m Ministry of Defence development currently under construction on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire.

The development is the largest MoD housing scheme currently underway in the UK and will see 917 homes built across two Wiltshire towns at Larkhill and Ludgershall as well as the village of Bulford.

Russell has won the sole roofing supplier deal from main contractor Lovell Partnerships Limited.

Over the next 18 months, Russell Roof Tiles will supply tiles in two different profiles from its Commercial Range – Grampian in Slate Grey and Double Roman in Terracotta.

James Pendleton, Regional Sales Director, at Russell Roof Tiles said: “This is a large-scale and significant project and we are proud to be involved in the project, delivering our market-leading and sustainable products and systems.

“The Russell Roof Tiles team will utilise its incredible expertise and knowledge of previously working with Ministry of Defence and Lovell Partnerships Limited to deliver an efficient and high level of service. We look forward to working closely with the team over the next 18 months.”

Previously, Russell Roof Tiles worked in partnership with Lovell Partnerships Limited to deliver 346 homes for the Ministry of Defence in Stafford in 2014 and 2015.

Rob Worboys, Procurement and Sustainability Manager for Lovell Partnerships Ltd, said: “Lovell were attracted to Russell Roof Tiles for a number of reasons, not least of which being their commitment to producing quality products within a sustainable and innovative manufacturing environment.

“Russell Roof Tiles’ track record of successful delivery on our premier Housing schemes across a number of years was also a major factor and the team have worked closely with our Operations team in planning deliveries to meet our ambitious programme, a great example of partnership working to achieve mutual goals.”
