Seven TClarke ‘start ups’ expand our capacity

TClarke has been a serial in-house start-up investor over the previous decade. Our consistent success in ‘identifying winners’ over the years is easier to appreciate when you consider that, in many situations, our entry into a specialisation is not a gamble, but is done to answer a specific demand or encouragement from our clients and long-term partners.

Each of these new ventures has increased our base capacity to deliver project work and so comfortably increase our revenue potential.

• TClarke Intelligent Buildings our Technology team has expanded its scope to include Smart Buildings and Master Systems Integrator specialisms
• Our Design and Build team offer a one stop turnkey solution targeting projects of a certain scale, within London and the South East
• Our Manufacturing Facility with Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) expanding we moved to a substantially bigger premises and opened another facility in Coatbridge, Scotland.
• Our Data Centre operation has grown exponentially with increasingly large projects involving world-class client partners
• Our Specialist Climate Solutions operation has helped us to deliver a world first large scale Passivhaus project
• Our Healthcare operation has grown into a major player in that vast and highly complex sector.
• Shortly, our latest technology start up, Alternative Energy Solutions will reach the market.

How new services expand our base capacity

While each of these service areas has positively impacted our revenue opportunities, what they have also done very significantly is expanded our base capacity as a business.

For example, Our MMC (Modern Methods of Construction) team delivers a service that designs and builds complex elements within the engineering services infrastructure offsite – and now after many years of highly successful operations has recently been meeting clients needs to deliver up to 70% of the value of our package offsite.

The outsourcing of such a substantial portion of a major project creates substantial free capacity within our onsite teams and therefore represents a major increase in our base capacity.

 Across many of our technologies service offerings, our approach has been to steadily develop our in-house resource and control, building our teams at senior level, training our people and building the skill base internally project by project.

Now, a decade down the track from our breakthrough delivery of the 2012 Olympic Stadium ICT infrastructure, we have new expanded teams delivering new revenue streams and cross selling other traditional services within much expanded packages. Again, the higher revenues are the tip of the iceberg – what’s underneath is a much expanded new in-house resource capacity.
