08/06/06 - Developments within the Central (East) Region.

Tolent were justifiably proud of their achievements to date and were aiming to see turnover top the �25m mark by the end of 2005.
Their expansion has continued apace and this year's turnover is expected to reach �60m, thanks to their continued involvement in a series of prestigious projects across the north of England.

Tolent�s current residential projects include a 68-apartment scheme in Sheffield city centre, which is a �5.4m development in Arundel Street.

The same sum is being spent on a scheme consisting of 69 apartments in a mixture of new-build and a hotel conversion in Ecclesfield.

Marshalls Yard in Gainsborough is Tolent�s �17m retail development which is scheduled for completion in February 2007. The ambitious project has seen tenants including Marks and Spencer, Next and Halfords sign up to the scheme, which will also feature a JJB Sports fitness centre.

Due to open in December this year is one of the largest distribution centres in the north of England, a 750,000 sq ft development at Thorne, Doncaster. Tolent has �fast-tracked� this project in 36 weeks, at a cost of �21m.

In the hotel and leisure sector, Tolent is currently working on a �3.5m project to build a 94-bed hotel for Holiday Inn Express in Doncaster, and a �1.7m 36-bed extension to a Paramount hotel near Darlington.

�It is since moving to Leeds that we have secured all this work,� said Geoff Bilton (Regional Manager).

Tolent is a national company with five regional offices and an anticipated annual turnover this year of more than �180m, a third of which will come from the Leeds-based office.
