PROJECT management consultancy Faithful & Gould is working with a Tyneside housing trust on four schemes worth more than £2m.

Working with contractor Gordon Durham & Co Limited, architects Dewjoc Partnership and engineering company BDN, the Newcastle team of Faithful & Gould has acted as employer agent, quantity surveyor and partnering advisor for four County Durham developments.

Faithful & Gould director Martin Round said: "We were delighted to be working with Newcastle and Whitley Housing again. These schemes form an important part of the local community and we are thrilled to be involved.

"Work is already completed on three of the schemes and is due to start on the fourth next month."

The schemes were funded by Newcastle and Whitley Housing Trust, which is working in partnership with Durham social services and its care providers, Oaklea Trust, St Anne's Sheltered Housing and Turning Point.

Douglas Taylor, the chief executive at Newcastle and Whitley Housing, said: "We have developed a strong relationship with Faithful & Gould, built up over many projects. The team is highly experienced in the social housing sector."
