GRS Secures Second Simultaneous Persimmon Homes Contract at Standish

GRS Civil Engineers has been appointed to deliver the roads and sewers package at Pepper Lane, Standish, for a new residential development by Persimmon Homes. This appointment further cements a growing partnership with one of the UK’s largest national housebuilders, marking the second simultaneous contract alongside active delivery at Jack Walker Way in Blackburn.

A Partnership Built on Trust and Consistency

The Pepper Lane award is a direct reflection of GRS's performance on current live sites. In an industry where reputation is built daily, the reappointment by Persimmon Homes serves as proof that consistent, high-quality delivery leads directly to the next opportunity. With over 60 years of experience, GRS is uniquely positioned to handle the full infrastructure scope at the new development, branded as ‘The Acorns’.

"Our relationship with GRS has gone from strength to strength, and The Acorns, Standish is the next step in that. They understand our values and they deliver to the standards of quality and safety we expect. That's the foundation of a good partnership." – Ian Hilliker, Managing Director of Persimmon Homes North West

The St Helens-based contractor continues to demonstrate its ability to manage the full project lifecycle, from complex planning and coordination to precise on-site execution.

"This is what GRS is all about. We've been doing this for over 60 years—building relationships, delivering jobs the right way, and earning trust. And we're not slowing down. If anything, we're getting stronger with every project we take on." – Tom Keane, Owner and Managing Director of GRS
