SISK DISCUSS PROGRESS ON E03, CANADA COURT

E03, or Canada Court, is the biggest single development site Quintain, the developer behind the regeneration of Wembley Park, is undertaking in the area. Consisting of 743 apartments over a 91 space coach park, it is a massive undertaking. John Sisk & Son is the international construction company chosen by Quintain to deliver the entire plot from beginning to end. The reason for this, according to Coryn Martin, Project Manager at Quintain, is simple; “Sisk has a proven track record working at Wembley Park with a relationship going back 12 years, delivering LDO, Hilton and more recently Emerald Gardens. The team know the site well, they know how Quintain work, and it is their experience and innovation which we need to deliver a prestigious project like Canada Court.”

There is no doubt that Sisk is equally as enthusiastic about working on E03. This is its eighth project at Wembley Park, and the team behind delivering Canada Court are all highly experienced.

Ger Hayes, Project Director, is responsi-ble for the overall delivery of E03, liaising with Quintain and managing 30 staff, both onsite and in the office. As a family owned business with a 158 year history, Sisk values long standing relationships with its clients, and according to Ger the Sisk family are still involved; “Owen Sisk works closely with Quintain on the delivery of projects at Wembley Park.”

Ger has worked with Sisk at Wembley Park since W05 (Hilton London Wembley), as has Kevin Loftus, who is Contracts Manag-er for Sisk. Kevin manages the subcontrac-tors specifically in relation to the interiors of the apartments, and he is particularly proud of the work done previously at Emer-ald Gardens; “it is such a fantastic project and we think it looks the business. Grid, who were the architects on the project, did such a wonderful job bringing it to life.”

But it is their colleague, Aidan King, who has been working with Sisk at Wembley Park for the longest. As Contracts

Manager for E03, specifically relating to the exteriors of the buildings, he first came to Wembley Park 12 years ago:

“My first project was working on the refurbishment of the SSE Arena, which included moving the entrance to where it is now looking out to Arena Square. It was such a brilliant project, especially as I got to go and see Depeche Mode in concert to ‘test’ out the changes. One of my favourite Wembley memories, I must admit.”

It seems that E03 is proving as interesting. Work on site is in the very early stages – currently, they’re removing the asphalt and cleaning the earth to get it ready for piling, which should begin in spring 2017. However, Kevin mentioned that as part of this early work, Sisk undertook a survey of the ground, which unearthed some old fea-tures from the Empire Exhibition that took place from 1924-1925, such as ponds and lakes. “The history of the site is amazing. E03 was given the name Canada Court, as this is where Canada was based during the Empire Exhibition.”

Sisk make a positive, lasting impact on the community which it works in, and Wembley Park is no exception. According to Ger, during the Emerald Gardens project, there was an average of 30% of workers employed from the local Brent community, with a peak of 40%. Once E03 properly gets underway, Sisk fully intends for it to be along the same lines.

Not only that, Sisk actively engage with local community projects, as seen by the work with Sufra NW London, a Community Food Bank & Kitchen based in Brent, which aims to support disadvantaged families suffering food poverty in the local area. Sisk has a long standing relationship with them, building a whole community centre for them to do their work in.

Sisk is a long standing, experienced con-tractor that has worked at Wembley Park for 12 years, and the team are proud of the changes that they’ve helped shape at Wembley Park, as explained by Kevin:

“The changes happening at Wembley Park are amazing. Seeing people living and working in the buildings which we were personally involved in delivering is fantastic.”

Ger continues: “When I first came to Wembley Park in the morning you could always get a seat on the tube, now it’s almost impossible some mornings. There are a lot of people coming into Wembley Park on a day to day basis, not just on event days. It’s a massive positive change for the area.”
