We are excited to announce that, due to our continued growth and expansion plans, we have acquired a new headquarters. We were delighted when the building became available and jumped at the chance to make our mark.

The new office, which is a short drive from our previous base in Wildmoor, will allow us to grow the team further and enable us to better serve our customers.

Sophie Clarke, Caltec C.O.O., said: ”The expansion is an opportunity for us to build on our Core Values of Collaboration and Efficiency, as the office team will come together on one floor where they can increase collaboration, and the site team will have a better organised space to store equipment and materials so that works can be well planned ahead of time.”
