Building on Success with Record-Breaking Turnover

The Cheadle-based construction firm marked its 15th anniversary in 2025, coupling a rise in project activity with strategic team growth. Entering its new financial year with a very active pipeline, the company aims to increase turnover to £25M this year with the aim of achieving £40M per annum by 2030.

Over the past year, managing director Adrian Short has strengthened his team across all departments including two key promotions to the senior management team – Daniel Van Den Bos to Operations Director and Ben Donafee to Commercial Director.

“Throughout last year, we focused on growing the team and building a robust order book for 2026.” commented Adrian Short. “Our attention is now on maintaining this positive momentum, with proactive business development to take us into 2027 and beyond. We’re also investing in new digital marketing strategies that reflect our company ambitions. With such a capable and determined team in place, I’m confident we will continue to strengthen our presence across the region.”

Short Construction operates across the North West building luxury properties for private clients alongside residential schemes for developers. The company is currently onsite delivering several large-scale projects including 72 units at Daisy Bank Park in South Manchester for developer, Britannia Group. A further 45 apartments are also underway for the developer at Overbanks in Stockport town centre, part of the regeneration of the town’s former Probation Centre.

Nick Carter, Head of Development at Britannia Group commented: “Short Construction is an excellent partner, demonstrating strong communication, quality workmanship and a collaborative approach to every project. The team are expecting to deliver Daisy Bank Park ahead of schedule which is hugely impressive.  This, coupled with their diligent work at Overbanks reflects Short Construction’s ability to handle complex projects with professionalism and care. We value our relationship with the team and look forward to working together on future developments.”

Equally expert in delivering commercial and healthcare projects, Short Construction has recently delivered projects for clients including Voyage Care, Parti/ARC, Barchester Healthcare, Kids Planet, August Blake, and Becker Industrial Coatings.

“We have an array of projects onsite with values between £ 3M and £ 13M,” added Adrian Short.  “As a Cheadle based team we take great pride in delivering local schemes, whether it be bespoke houses or complex multi-unit developments. All are all contributing to the ongoing investment and regeneration of our region and, while the construction sector has its challenges, it is hugely rewarding to step back and appreciate the projects we have delivered.”
