The ‘Shard of Glass’, the super-tall skyscraper planned for construction at London Bridge, will be Project Managed by one of COINS’ newest customers Primus Build.

Recently established to provide property and construction solutions across the range of residential, retail and commercial sectors in London and the South, Primus Build has also secured a contract with Acor valued at £8million to deliver a 120-bed hotel and adjacent 35,000 sq ft office block in Portsmouth.

Martin Tidd, MD, previously with Laing, Wates and most recently Multiplex, comments: ‘We have established the company to fill a niche in the £5m-50m value range. Signing up to the COINS hosted solution means that we are adopting a best practice approach, where we can scale up our systems in line with anticipated business growth, without change.’

William Verry (Holdings) Ltd, renowned as a construction business in London has shown a significant and consistent growth
trend over the last five years, in excess of 25% year on year, with plans to double in size by 2010. We are pleased to announce therefore that they have recently signed a six-year partnership agreement with COINS to implement and support their IT needs for Financials, Payroll, Procurement and Commercials.

ISIS Waterside Regeneration was established as limited partnership and launched at the Urban Summit in the autumn of 2002 with a £100m initial equity investment from AMEC Developments, Morley Fund Management’s Igloo Fund which focuses on urban regeneration projects and the British Waterways. ISIS is now revitalising more than 170 acres of land in nine towns and cities across the UK.

ISIS is moving onto a hosted solution where its staff will have access to COINS from their offices, project locations or from home, enabling them to far more effectively manage the purchasing and invoice approval process.
