About the client
HolmPatrick Developments, in partnership with Jigsaw Homes, has a reputation for delivering quality homes across the North West. Their current two-year programme at St Helens includes a mix of 2, 3 and 4-bedroom homes alongside a large warehouse extension. For HolmPatrick, a well-organised, well-maintained welfare setup isn't just a box-ticking exercise – it’s fundamental to productivity, safety and morale on site.
Kensite supplied and installed a complete modern welfare compound that represented a significant step up from previous site provisions.
“The lads love the cabins – they're modern, bright, and fit for purpose. The set-up is a huge step up from what we had before, and Kensite's team have provided a full package solution that just works.”
“You need a welfare company that gets construction. Kensite do. The setup works, the servicing is reliable, and when we need something adjusted or added, they make it happen. That's the service you want on a long programme.”
– Ged Farrington, Construction Manager, HolmPatrick Developments
