The four schemes are – a £46m residential development in Birmingham for Select Property, a £25.9m residential scheme in Manchester, a £10.2m student accommodation Scheme in York and a £32m student accommodation scheme with Bricks Group.

All four developments are design and build and will be delivered by Torsion Construction.

Torsion Group chief executive Dan Spencer said: “With the developments and operational businesses thriving and such an exciting period of growth within the construction business, I will be taking a more hands-on role in leading the construction part of the group throughout the growth period, providing additional stability, growth and continuity.

“This is an exciting time for our business with the growing pipeline of student and residential schemes as well as expansion into the Manchester region.

“Our first scheme in Manchester signifies a new chapter in our growth and is the first of a number of higher value projects that we are pursuing in the North West.

“We have invested in our business to ensure we have the right calibre of staff and infrastructure to deliver all our schemes. The new developments will deliver significant progression in achieving our business growth plan, which has strong foundations on our strategy of recruiting the best people in the industry.”
