Caddick’s North West MD to retire 

Ian Threadgold will depart after guiding the business to a record £180m turnover last year. 

Threadgold, who has been Caddick Construction’s North West managing director since its formation in 2014, has decided to retire at the age of 65. 

“I am very proud of everything we’ve achieved since Caddick Construction was launched,” he said. 

“We’ve delivered some fantastic projects in a variety of sectors including the likes of Base Building at Manchester Science Park, South Lakes Porsche Centre at Carnforth, and Arden Square in Crewe. We have also developed a very strong presence in the residential market.” 

Despite leaving a legacy of major construction projects for clients including Bruntwood and St Modwen, the outgoing MD said the highlight of his time at Caddick was his colleagues. 

“By far the highlight for me is the team of talented people I leave behind at Caddick, many of whom I have worked with throughout their entire careers.  

“Our business has rightly earned a strong reputation as a trusted construction partner, and the strength of our client relationships is due to our consistent delivery of high-quality projects.” 

He added: “None of that would be possible without the skill, experience, and commitment of our team. I wanted to leave behind a great business as a leading regional contractor in a strong financial position for future success and I believe I have achieved this.” 

Threadgold launched Caddick Construction in the North West in 2014 and has since grown the business to become a household name in the region’s construction sector. The company’s 130-strong team works out of offices in Warrington and Kendal. 

Paul Dodsworth, Caddick Construction Group’s managing director, said: “What Ian has achieved for Caddick Construction in the North West over the last nine years is nothing short of outstanding.  

“Caddick’s reputation in the North West has been hard-earned by Ian and his team through dedication and a commitment to delivering impeccable standards. We wish Ian well in his retirement and promise to build on his legacy.” 

Threadgold’s successor is due to be announced in the coming weeks.
