B&M Powers Ahead with 45 New Store Openings Despite Sales Dip

B&M Powers Ahead with 45 New Store Openings Despite Sales Dip

Iconic discount retailer B&M is forging ahead with ambitious expansion plans, announcing the opening of 45 new stores across the UK in the year ahead—even as it grapples with a dip in like-for-like sales at home. In the 12 months to 29 March, the retailer reported a 3.1% drop in like-for-like UK sales, falling to £4.5 billion. Sales were also down 2.4% in the final quarter. However, group-wide performance painted a more positive picture, with total sales rising by 3.7% to £5.6 billion. This growth was driven by newly opened stores and a strong trading performance in B&M’s French arm, which helped offset the softer results in the UK market. B&M’s garden, toys, paint and stationery categories helped underpin its UK performance, while the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) segment experienced a decline in like-for-like sales—though it still saw gains in overall value and volume. The company has said steps are being taken to boost performance in this category. Undeterred by the sales slowdown, B&M said its 45 new stores opened over the past year are performing in line with expectations and delivering strong returns—prompting the company to commit to another 45 openings in the year ahead. The new stores are expected to target high-footfall areas such as retail parks and under-served smaller towns, where demand for discount retail remains strong. The company’s group adjusted EBITDA is forecast to land above the midpoint of its £605m to £625m guidance range. Meanwhile, B&M’s board is progressing in its search for a new chief executive to replace Alex Russo, who will retire at the end of the month. An announcement on his successor is expected in the coming weeks. Building, Design & Construction Magazine | The Choice of Industry Professionals

Revealed: the UK universities that have invested the most in building maintenance

Revealed: the UK universities that have invested the most in building maintenance

A new Freedom of Information request spotlights the UK’s leading universities for building repair and remediation works Recent figures reveal that the maintenance backlog for the Department for Education was in excess of £13.8bn in 2023-24.* The excessive costs spotlight the need for more cost-efficient repair and remediation works of education buildings in the UK, particularly with the discovery of RAAC across several education institutions. To investigate the state of building maintenance across UK universities, SFG20, the industry standard for facility management, submitted a Freedom of Information (FOI) request to universities across the country. They received responses from 61 universities, who were asked to provide information on: total costs spent on repair and remediation works in the most recent financial year; completed repair projects; outstanding projects; and total budgets.  From the universities that responded, 904,000 maintenance projects were logged in 2023, however, as of January this year, there were still approximately 76,527 outstanding maintenance requests left to carry out. This demonstrates the sheer volume of maintenance tasks that need to be carried out to keep universities to a safe and habitual standard.  The universities that invested the most in building repair and remediation  The University of Oxford ranked top position for the university that had invested the most into repair and remediation works across its facilities and buildings, with an overall score of 75.41.  As part of their overall ranking, the University of Oxford had one of the highest repair project completion rates of the institutions that responded, with almost 40,000 completed. In the most recent financial year, the University of Oxford spent a total of £18,500,000 on building maintenance projects. With a budget of £26.4 million, they were also the university that came most under budget, reflecting their cost-efficient allocation of resources.  The University of Oxford was closely followed by the University of York, which spent a total of £12.8 million on repair and maintenance works in the most recent financial year, approximately £3 million under budget.  Universities such as the London School of Economics (53.28), Arts University Bournemouth (53.01), and The Open University (52.73) were categorised into the bronze tier category. The Arts University Bournemouth had the lowest average spend per maintenance request of all the universities that responded to the FOI request at just £23 per request, calculated with their total spend and total maintenance requests completed.  The London School of Economics and Edinburgh Napier University, both finished the most recent financial year exactly on budget for repair and remediation works to their buildings, having spent £3.02 million and £1.11 million respectively.  Paul Bullard, Product Director at SFG20, on the issue of building maintenance in UK Universities, has said:  “Staying significantly under budget on maintenance costs and keeping a low cost per repair request are both strong indicators of a well-structured, proactive maintenance strategy – one that prioritises efficiency and minimises more serious and costly unexpected downtime. To attract and retain the best calibre of staff and students, universities must provide outstanding learning environments, supported by high-quality leisure facilities and living conditions. Even before Covid, we saw a shift towards improving indoor air quality to enhance student focus and well-being. Now, more than ever, delivering a great experience is critical. Well-maintained facilities not only create inspiring spaces for learning but also play a vital role in university recruitment and retention.” The full findings can be found here: https://www.sfg20.co.uk/blog/uk-universities-investment  *https://www.nao.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/maintaining-public-service-facilities.pdf Methodology:  To investigate the state of building maintenance across UK universities, SFG20 submitted a Freedom of Information (FOI) request to 105 universities, between December 2024 and February 2025, who were asked to provide information on: From 61 responses, universities were ranked based on their answers to each FOI question in comparison to other universities and assigned a score out of 100. The higher the score, the more the institution invested both time and money into the maintenance and upkeep of their buildings. The need for building repair and remediation can be driven by a number of factors, which is why our overall ranking has been derived from several balanced metrics to show how universities compare to one another.  Building, Design & Construction Magazine | The Choice of Industry Professionals

Proposed development in Nuneaton offers significant benefits for the borough

Proposed development in Nuneaton offers significant benefits for the borough

Proposals for a new development of 160 homes in Nuneaton will bring a raft of benefits to the local area – providing affordable housing, new public open space and investment into local infrastructure. The proposed Bellway development, to the east of Plough Hill Road, would deliver 40 affordable homes to help address the housing shortage in the borough. A report in 2022 showed that there were more than 3,000 households on Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council’s housing register waiting for an affordable home in the borough. The planning application for the 16-acre site, which has been brought forward by Bellway Strategic Land, includes new public open space, including a children’s play area, natural play trails, footpaths and cycleways to promote outdoor activity for both new and existing residents. Bellway would also deliver improvements to local roads, with traffic calming planned in Plough Hill Road near Galley Common Infant School to reduce traffic speeds and improve safety for pedestrians and children, and improvements to pavements and crossing points along Plough Hill Road and Coleshill Road. In addition, the housebuilder would provide funding towards the planned improvement scheme for the Plough Hill Road/Coleshill Road junction. Chris O’Hanlon, Planning Manager for Bellway Strategic Land, said: “We have worked closely with the local community to listen to their views and ensure our proposals for this sustainable site off Plough Hill Road meet their needs. “This site offers an ideal opportunity to help Nuneaton respond to the shortage of housing in the borough, as well as to promote healthier and more sustainable lifestyles by providing new open space and making roads in the area safer. The development enjoys an accessible location within easy reach of local shops and services, reducing the need to travel by car. “We also anticipate making significant financial contributions towards improvements to local infrastructure as part of the planning agreement for the development. “We have submitted a full planning application at this stage so that, should planning permission be granted, we will be able to press ahead quickly with the delivery of these much-needed new homes.” The new homes would include a mix of 120 one, two, three and four-bedroom properties for private sale, 11 two and three-bedroom homes for shared ownership, and 29 one, two, three and four-bedroom homes for affordable rent. Each of the homes would have solar PV panels to help residents reduce their energy bills and carbon emissions, while 38 per cent of the homes would be accessible or adaptable for wheelchair users. Open space would make up more than a third of the site, and as well as providing space for recreation and social activities, it will also create new wildlife habitats to promote biodiversity. More information about the work of Bellway Strategic Land can be found at https://www.bellwaystrategicland.co.uk/. Bellway West Midlands is building new homes across Warwickshire and the wider region, with details available at https://www.bellway.co.uk/new-homes/west-midlands.

Liverpool John Moores University Campus Site for Sale

Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) has appointed CBRE to bring a 20 acre former campus site to market. The former IM Marsh campus site in Aigburth is for sale as a development opportunity, with CBRE seeking offers by 28th May on either an unconditional or subject to planning basis. Situated off Barkhill Road in a South Liverpool suburb, four miles from Liverpool City Centre, the overall brownfield site contains a range of buildings varying in age and architectural style which were used as teaching accommodation, halls of residences and indoor facilities along with a number of redundant playing pitches. The buildings, which include two with Grade II listed status, comprise a combined circa 213,000 sq ft. The site sale is in-keeping with the university’s estates strategy which has been focused on bringing all activities into the city centre to work more efficiently and sustainably. Over recent years, students have increasingly opted for city-based teaching and living accommodation. With a student population of over 27,000, LJMU has responded by investing in high quality campus facilities in both the city centre and around the Mount Pleasant area, including the development of the former Copperas Hill site which now features the award-winning student life building and sports facilities. Kieran McLaughlin, Senior Director, UK Development & Residential at CBRE, said; “The university vacated the site a number of years ago with no teaching or other student-facing activity at IM Marsh since 2020.  The site has been secured throughout that time and the university has been actively engaged with the neighbourhood to keep local residents updated and informed. The release of the IM Marsh site will allow LJMU to invest further in developing student-facing services, specialist facilities and the continued maintenance of an extensive campus portfolio in the city centre. “Land such as this is in high demand and we are looking forward to reviewing bids from interested parties seeking to bring this vacant site back into use to contribute to the local economy.” Building, Design & Construction Magazine | The Choice of Industry Professionals

North East Mayor praises Believe Housing’s home energy upgrade programme and wants to scale up retrofitting in the region

North East Mayor praises Believe Housing’s home energy upgrade programme and wants to scale up retrofitting in the region

North East Mayor Kim McGuinness has praised a regional housing association for its ongoing programme of home energy upgrades, highlighting the role this work plays in tackling poverty, cutting household bills, and building a greener future.  Mayor McGuinness said: “I am committed to making the North East the home of real opportunity. To do that we must support the thousands of families across our region who are struggling with fuel poverty and make sure everyone has a warm home they’re proud of.   “That’s why it’s great to see organisations like believe housing building sustainable homes and making thousands of energy upgrades to houses in the North East, helping their customers keep more money in their pockets.   “As Mayor, I will scale up our retrofitting industry with more jobs, reinforcing our region as a leader in green energy. That will mean skilled green jobs for local people, upgrading homes across our communities.”   The Mayor made the comments during a visit to believe housing, a not-for-profit landlord which manages more than 18,000 homes across the North East.  During her visit, leaders outlined believe housing’s ongoing work to improve existing homes — which includes ensuring every property meets at least an EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) rating of C which makes them warmer, greener and more affordable to heat for residents.   And they spoke about its delivery of about 200 high-quality, energy-efficient new homes a year, where they are most needed.   This work is central to believe housing’s commitment to providing healthy, affordable homes and goes hand in hand with a wide range of support services for customers and communities, including employability programmes, welfare benefits advice, and community grant funding.  Mayor McGuinness also heard how long-term investment in social housing is helping to create green jobs and boost local economic growth.   She met representatives from RE:GEN Group, believe housing’s delivery partner for energy improvement works, who said that visible, ongoing investment gives them the confidence to grow their skilled workforce — enabling them to continue delivering upgrades and support the region’s transition to a greener economy.  As part of her visit, the Mayor met believe housing customer Val Singleton at her home in Crook, which recently benefited from improvement and decarbonisation works, including a new roof with solar panels and enhanced loft insulation.  Val’s home is one of 3,477 believe housing homes to receive energy efficiency upgrades, part-funded by the government.  “It was lovely to meet Val, whose home is one of many that have already been fitted with energy efficiency upgrades, including solar panels and insulation, not only making her home warmer, but reducing her heating bills too,” said the Mayor.  “We are already making it easier for people in County Durham to get the advice they need to reduce their bills.   “I am working closely with the industry to increase the supply of sustainable social housing, and retrofit more homes across the North East to help more people, like Val, save on their energy bills.”   Alan Smith, Chief Executive of believe housing, said: “We welcome the opportunity to show the Mayor some of our work and to talk about how it supports her missions for the region — creating a stronger, fairer economy, generating job opportunities, tackling poverty, and advancing green energy.  “We also discussed the wider challenges facing the social housing sector and how we can work together with the North East Combined Authority, through the North East Housing Partnership, to do even more to make our region a better place to live and work.”  The North East Housing Partnership is a group of social housing providers and local authorities, working together to support the North East Mayoral Combined Authority to deliver a comprehensive housing plan for the region that drives inclusive economic growth through the delivery of new homes, supports net zero and skills, and helps residents live healthier lives.   Building, Design & Construction Magazine | The Choice of Industry Professionals

Representing a 12% growth in revenue compared to the previous 2022/23 year, the uplift powered pre-tax profit forward to £8m with a margin remaining stable at 2.4%. Alongside growth in revenue, Caddick Construction Group’s order book has continued to grow by 7% to £750m and year-end cash increased to £32.8m from £31.9m along with no debt, positioning Caddick Construction Group well for a strong future. The results form part of the 2023/24 figures for the wider Caddick Group, which consists of Caddick Construction, Caddick Developments and Moda Living. The group saw a consolidated turnover of £606m, a 23% increase in gross profit to £70m and net asset growth to £202m.  Caddick Construction Group’s results follow a year of milestones for the business, including the launch of its new Wakefield headquarters in June last year. This was followed by the recent opening of its first North East office in Durham. The year also saw Caddick Construction Group grow its project pipeline across the Northwest, Cumbria, North East, Yorkshire and the Midlands with key appointments including the new Schneider manufacturing facility in Scarborough alongside Caddick Developments. Work in the public sector also includes the expansion of Loreto Sixth Form College in Manchester. Growing its portfolio of residential and industrial and logistics projects, Caddick Construction’s recent appointments include the first phase of Cole Waterhouse and Taurus Investment Holdings LLC’s Upper Trinity Street in Birmingham and Max Spielman’s new warehouse on the Wirral.   The 2023/24 annual results for Caddick Construction Group also includes the turnover of its two specialist sub-contracting businesses, Caddick Civil Engineering and CCL Facades, both of which are sustainably growing their turnover and profitability both with Caddick Construction and industry third parties. Paul Caddick, Chairman at Caddick, said: “I’m incredibly proud of the results we’ve achieved this financial year, with a strong turnover reflecting the hard work and dedication of our staff as we continue to build our pipeline and further invest in our people. Our people are at the heart of everything we do, and these results are a testament to the collective effort across the business, underlining our purpose of creating thriving communities.” Paul Dodsworth, Construction Group Managing Director, commented: “The past few years have seen the group achieve significant operational and financial progress. We are determined to work with clients and partners that share our values for quality and as a result, the contracts within our order book reflect the bidding discipline and risk management now embedded in the business.  “Our strategy is to balance our portfolio between the public and private sectors, growing our education and defense work pipeline alongside our core residential and industrial sectors. This ensures stable profitability to protect our business, our people, our clients and our supply chain. The success for future years is underpinned by the year-end order book, resulting from a large number of contract wins across Construction, Civil Engineering and CCL Facades, providing multi-year revenue visibility. “We are well positioned to continue benefiting from UK Government spending commitments and we are confident in sustaining strong cash generation, especially over the last few years, allowing us to grow and deliver the evolved long-term sustainable growth plan for Caddick Construction Group. “Over the past year, the Caddick Group has also extended its commitment to having a positive impact in the places where it operates. We have made real progress in our scope 1 and scope 2 emissions.” Jessica Harmen, Group Head of ESG and Sustainability, is leading the group’s ‘Places for Life’ strategy, originally launched in 2023, aimed at ensuring the projects across the different arms of the business will prioritise the three key ESG areas – communities, environment and business – to create sustainable places for current and future generations.   Building, Design & Construction Magazine | The Choice of Industry Professionals

Speedy Hire Partners with WellChild to Transform Garden for Daisy

Speedy Hire, the UK’s leading tools and equipment hire company, is proud to have partnered with WellChild’s Helping Hands programme to complete a life-changing garden transformation for 14-year-old Daisy in Huddersfield. Daisy has a chromosome disorder and epilepsy, which affects her mobility, meaning she requires specialist care. The new outdoor space created is designed to be safe, accessible, and stimulating, allowing her to enjoy the outdoors and spend quality time with her family and friends. Daisy loves being outside, but her garden was previously inaccessible. Over the course of the project, a dedicated team of Speedy Hire volunteers from Huddersfield and the surrounding areas worked alongside WellChild to level the ground, install secure fencing, and introduce sensory-friendly features such as artificial grass, sensory lighting, and accessible play equipment. In addition to volunteering their time and expertise for Daisy’s garden renovation, Speedy Hire also provided free tool hire to support the successful completion of the project, as they do for all WellChild Helping Hands projects across the UK. The WellChild Helping Hands programme enriches the lives of children with complex medical needs across the UK by creating safe, sensory and accessible environments for them and their families to truly thrive at home. Daisy’s Mum Jenny said: “This garden has transformed Daisy’s experience of being outdoors. She now has a safe and enjoyable space where she can relax, play, and interact with nature. We can’t thank Speedy Hire and WellChild enough for making this possible.” Amelia Woodley, ESG Director at Speedy Hire, commented: “We are delighted to support WellChild’s Helping Hands initiative. At Speedy Hire, we believe in making a positive impact in our communities, and this project is a perfect example of how we can use our resources to create meaningful change. Seeing Daisy enjoy her new outdoor space is truly rewarding.” Kieran Cullen, Helping Hands Programme Manager at WellChild, added: “The success of projects like this relies on the generosity and dedication of corporate partners like Speedy Hire. Their commitment to helping children and families across the UK is invaluable, and we are incredibly grateful for their support.” This initiative reflects Speedy Hire’s dedication to corporate social responsibility and community support, aligning with the company’s commitment to sustainability and social impact.
