Falcon Fox Construction is delivering on its commitment to hire local people as a direct result of winning two major contracts in Sunderland.
David Reagan, from Seaham, is site manager on Nile+Villiers, a key part of Sunderland City Council’s Sunniside Place Strategy – a ten-year plan to bring new life, activity and investment to the area. Nile + Villiers is a residential-led development project with 75 homes and 575 sqm of commercial space along High Street West. The aim is to contribute to the growth of Sunniside as a living and working neighbourhood within the city centre, offering high-quality homes.
Robyn Wright, from Grangetown, is site coordinator at Nile+Villiers and at the Vaux Housing scheme – part of Riverside Sunderland – for which Falcon Fox has also been appointed in a construction management role for phase 2 of the project. Vaux Housing, is a flagship scheme at the heart of the city centre which will deliver 93 sustainable homes.
Riverside Sunderland is rapidly becoming a vibrant business and residential neighbourhood, the Vaux Housing scheme will offer panoramic views over the River Wear, as well as access to Riverside Park and shared spaces.
Falcon Fox director, Ritchie Wharton, said: “Robyn and David are great additions to the team, both live in the local area and have real pride working on projects that contribute to the regeneration of Sunderland city centre.”
David Reagan, site manager, said: “Having worked in the construction sector for many years, Falcon Fox appealed to me because it is ambitious, offers good career progression routes and cares about its team.
“Being from Sunderland and working on a project that will leave its mark on Wearside and the people of my home city, will definitely stand out as a top moment within my career.”
