A CONSTRUCTION firm is celebrating its best ever month after securing record orders of £12 million.

Stourport-based Thomas Vale won a £6.7 million contract in August to design and build offices at Warwick Science Park as part of a 75,000 sq ft development during the next 12 months.

Director Tony Hyde said the order added to several other projects underway for the firm.

He added: "In the education sector we are working on alterations at Bromsgrove College, refurbishment at Aston University and teaching facilities at Hallow Primary School.

"Other schemes at the moment include working in the rail industry by constructing and maintaining stations at Birmingham New Street, Runcorn, Warwick Parkway and a £2 million roofing contract at Stoke-on-Trent."
