The specialist in brickwork, scaffolding and steel frame systems (SFS), delivered the full masonry package to the newly opened Derwent Unit, which is based at Chesterfield Royal Hospital in Chesterfield.

At the Carsington Unit, which sits in the grounds of Kingsway Hospital in Derby, Phoenix provided masonry and BMH Scaffolding supplied all the scaffolding requirements to support the new 54-bed facility.

Work was carried out for client, Integrated Health Projects (IHP) – an alliance between Sir Robert McApline and VINCI Building UK – and the combined package totalled £5m.

Christian Watson, Group Chairman at Phoenix Brickwork (UK) Ltd, said: “These momentous projects were carried as part of Derbyshire Healthcare NHS Foundation’s Trust’s £150m Making Room for Dignity programme.

“The Phoenix Group embraced the work at both developments, which ushers in a new era of care for people in Derbyshire with acute mental health needs.”

Inside Derby’s Carsington Unit, there are single rooms and en-suite accommodation across three wards. It will serve adults of working age, relocating from the Radbourne Unit at the Royal Derby Hospital site.

Watson added: “I would like to take this opportunity to thank IHP and Vinci for trusting us to be part of this vital project.

“Our teams were extremely excited to be part of such an important and impactful development, and we know that these specialist units will benefit people across Derbyshire.”
