Coreus Group

The new Britannia Mills footbridge and cycleway has officially opened, providing a lasting benefit for the Long Eaton community.

With construction beginning in January 2025 and finishing ahead of schedule, the new crossing creates a direct connection between the Britannia Mills development and the surrounding area, reducing residents’ journey across the canal by around half a mile.

Coreus provided Project Management, Quantity Surveying and Principal Designer services throughout the scheme. Working closely with stakeholders, our Birmingham team managed a phased construction programme before overseeing a single phase handover to minimise disruption to the public. We also coordinated the surveys, investigations and design development required to support the planning process.

The team also assessed multiple procurement options before successfully delivering the project through the Procure Partnerships Framework, securing competitive contractor bids and achieving excellent value for money.

Speaking about the opening, Erewash Borough Council Leader, Councillor James Dawson, described the bridge as a “tremendous time-saver” for local people. Richard Ledger, Chair of the Long Eaton Town Deal Board, added: “The now thriving community at Britannia Mills will be overjoyed to make use of this new bridge. It halves the previous mile-long distance between canal crossings.”

A fantastic example of what can be achieved through collaboration, we’d like to thank all our project partners: Erewash Borough Council, Stepnell, , THE ENVIRONMENT & SAFETY AGENCY LTD, Future Housing Group, Lovells, Beaver Bridges Ltd and Procure Partnerships Framework

We’re delighted to share some fantastic feedback from our client at Dorset Police, following a recent feasibility study delivered by Olivia Moorey and Joe Sains in collaboration with Corstorphine & Wright, Curtins and SDS.

Having previously worked alongside Selene Cooper as client lead on the delivery of their flagship headquarters building, we were pleased to continue supporting her with the wider Winfrith estate.

This feedback is a great reflection of the expertise, collaboration and commitment shown by the team, providing the direction needed to assess refurbishment opportunities across the two existing buildings.

If you’re planning a project and looking for support, our team would be pleased to help.
