NI firm wins £9m Premier Inn contract

A Northern Ireland firm has won a £9m contract to carry out mechanical and engineering work at what will be one of London’s tallest hotels.

Construction giant Sisk chose Kane Group Building Services to do mechanical and engineering work at the new 400-bed Premier Inn hotel at West India Dock.

The Banbridge based company will now deliver a full design and build mechanical, electrical and plumbing package for the new hotel.

Kane’s managing director Cathal McMullan said: “Kane are delighted to once again deliver a M&E contract on behalf of Sisk at the iconic West India Dock.

“This further strengthens our relationship with Sisk and showcases our M&E Capabilities as a leading MEP contractor of choice.”

The company will also work on a combined energy centre which will power 68 apartments.

This will be built off-site at the company’s facilities in Co Down.

Work has already started on the new hotel, the tallest in Premier Inn’s portfolio, with the project expected to take 14 months to complete.

The Kane Group was founded in 1967 and is now a major contractor with 200 staff and offices in London, Glasgow and the Republic.
