After more than 40 years of growth, innovation, and evolution, specialist contractor Cawarden has opened a new chapter with the move to its purpose‑built Derbyshire headquarters in Castle Donington. This milestone represents far more than a change of address – it reflects the company’s continued progression and the foundations being laid for the future.
A Purpose‑Built Home for the Next Era
Almost a month into life at the new site, the building already feels like home. Designed from the ground up, the modern heritage‑style office and workshop bring together everything needed to support Cawarden’s teams, clients, and long‑term ambitions.
Every space has been created with intention – from the boardroom, training suite, and workshop to communal areas and a dedicated wellbeing and prayer room. Integrated technology, including touch screens and video conferencing, ensures seamless collaboration across the business. The result is a workplace that blends comfort, capability, and character in a way that reflects Cawarden’s distinctive identity.
A Move Powered by Its People
The transition has been a true team effort. In recent weeks, colleagues from across the business have played a part in adding the finishing touches, organising spaces, and shaping the building into a place that feels lived in and uniquely theirs. A staff welcome day just before Christmas brought everyone together to celebrate the milestone and look ahead to what comes next.
Capturing the Journey: A Five‑Part Docuseries
To mark this milestone, Cawarden’s Marketing Team has produced a special docuseries, Building The Next Chapter, which explores the full story behind the move – not only the creation of the new headquarters, but the 40‑year journey that made it possible.
Across the five parts, viewers will hear personal reflections from Managing Director William Crooks, as well as insights from Directors Oliver and Samuel Crooks, who share their vision for the next generation of the business and how they plan to lead Cawarden into the future. The series brings together historic milestones, behind‑the‑scenes moments, interviews, and the final steps of settling into the new home. Together, the episodes build a complete picture of how Cawarden’s past, present, and future come together in this new chapter.
The episodes will be released sequentially across Cawarden’s social channels, allowing the story to unfold over time. The full playlist will be available below, bringing the entire journey together in one place.
Looking Ahead
The new headquarters is more than a workspace. It stands as a symbol of Cawarden’s progress, resilience, and commitment to the next generation of the business. As the company continues to grow, this move sets the stage for new opportunities, new capabilities, and new stories still to be written.
Cawarden’s next chapter has begun – and the future looks bright.
