Caddick Construction hires Mark Lambkin from B&K as construction director to lead its high-rise expansion in the East Midlands.
Caddick Construction has appointed Mark Lambkin as construction director to drive its expansion across the East Midlands. The appointment marks a strategic move by the contractor to bolster its regional delivery capability, with a particular focus on securing high-rise residential and commercial developments.
Lambkin joins Caddick from rival firm Bowmer + Kirkland, becoming the second senior executive recruited from the competitor to support Caddick's regional growth strategy. The move signals increased competition among Tier 1 and Tier 2 contractors for major regional regeneration and high-density build projects.
The recruitment reflects sustained investment in urban high-rise projects across East Midlands hubs such as Nottingham and Leicester. For main contractors, securing experienced leadership with proven track records in high-density builds is vital to navigating complex supply chains, strict planning conditions, and evolving safety regulations for higher-risk residential buildings.
What does this mean for a UK tradesperson or DIYer actually buying this kit — does it change what they should pay, buy, or watch out for? For local trade contractors, joiners, and mechanical or electrical firms operating in the East Midlands, this expansion points to an increase in major tender opportunities. Subcontractors looking to secure packages on these high-rise sites will need to ensure their compliance frameworks, particularly around high-rise safety and structural regulations, meet Tier 1 standards. While it won't directly alter the shelf price of materials at merchants like Travis Perkins or Wickes, increased commercial activity typically tightens local trade supply chains and increases demand for plant hire, specialized fixings, and high-volume consumables across regional branch networks.
With senior leadership now in place, Caddick is positioned to compete aggressively for substantial regional developments. Local supply chain partners should monitor upcoming procurement pipelines as these major construction schemes move into the active build phase.
