MGM Construction, a leading building contractor in the North East, has recently completed a major refurbishment of two essential depots at Glover and Hetton Lyons Industrial Estates in Sunderland. This project, carried out in partnership with Gentoo Group, showcases MGM Construction’s ongoing commitment to improving infrastructure in the region and supporting the teams that provide vital services to local communities.

The project aimed to upgrade two outdated industrial depots to create modern, efficient hubs for Gentoo’s estate services and maintenance teams. These depots are crucial for the delivery of property repairs in the North East and play a key role in ensuring that residents receive fast, effective service. MGM Construction, working alongside Building Design Northern (BDN) and Hall and Partners, focused on creating spaces that are both functional and conducive to efficient operations.

The Depots

At the Glover depot, the estate services team now has a centralised base to manage the maintenance of Washington’s green spaces. Meanwhile, the Hetton depot provides Gentoo’s maintenance teams with a more streamlined, modern space to improve service delivery across the region. These upgrades are designed to increase operational efficiency and provide a better working environment for staff.

As part of their commitment to social value in the region, MGM Construction went beyond the standard refurbishment work. The company provided state-of-the-art TV screens for both depots to enhance communication and collaboration among the teams. These screens were added to support the sharing of information and help the teams stay connected, ultimately improving the service Gentoo delivers to residents.

The Staff and the Community

The newly refurbished depots offer a range of practical amenities for staff, including modern, heated spaces, dry rooms, and kitchens, all designed to improve comfort and efficiency on site. With these upgrades, the depots now provide the resources needed for the team to carry out their work more effectively, enhancing the overall service provided to the community.

This project highlights MGM Construction’s role as a key player in property repairs in the North East, as the company continues to support local organisations and improve the infrastructure that benefits residents across the region. The completion of these depots marks another important milestone in MGM Construction’s ongoing efforts to drive progress in the North East.

Looking ahead, the partnership between MGM Construction and Gentoo Group is set to continue, with more projects planned to enhance the region’s infrastructure. As a leading building contractor in the North East, MGM Construction is dedicated to providing high-quality construction solutions that create lasting value for the community.
