News & Updates Green Light for £10m Rhyl Skills Workshop This week, our Public Sector Project Management team, led by Amie McGagh, secured planning permission for a new £10m Motor Vehicle and Construction Workshop in Rhyl for our valued client, Grŵp Llandrillo Menai. This is a significant milestone for the project and testament to the hard work of the Black Cat and wider project team, who successfully guided the scheme through the Welsh Pre-Application Consultation (PAC) process and achieved full planning consent within a very ambitious programme. The project will see the demolition of the existing automotive workshop, replacing it with a new 60,000 sq ft, state-of-the-art, purpose-built facility. The new workshop will support progression into advanced technical skills, helping to broaden and deepen workforce capability for priority economic sectors in Rhyl and the wider region. The development will provide a range of automotive and construction training facilities through carefully designed workshops, alongside high-quality spaces for staff and learners. The scheme is targeting an EPC A rating and will also support improvements to the wider site’s environmental performance, accessibility, outdoor areas and social spaces.

News & Updates Health centre refurb complete! Black Cat was instructed by Medway Council and NewRiver REIT to act as Project Managers and Cost Consultants to deliver a 40,000 ft² Healthy Living Centre for the NHS to take occupation. This project has been undertaken in the existing shopping centre in Chatham, involving multiple public‑sector stakeholders, a complex commercial structure, and fixed NHS operational deadlines. We provided clear project leadership, governance and cost control, acting as the single point of coordination across the Council, Developer, NHS and Design Team. Risk, cost and change were controlled by a robust delivery framework, which enabled fast, confident decision-making on a live, high-profile regeneration scheme. The project was highly complex, aligned around a clear delivery strategy, with stakeholders fully engaged and risks tightly managed. The scheme was positioned for successful delivery, transforming under‑used retail space into a sustainable community health asset while supporting wider town‑centre regeneration. Speak to our directors on this job: Oliver Turner & Danny Speakman.
