Primo Maintenance Services secures new opportunities

Sandwell Council’s commitment to supporting local businesses has delivered another success story, as Wednesbury-based Primo Maintenance Services secures a new contract with MCP Property Services following the Sandwell Meet the Buyer event in November 2024.

Hosted by us, the event was designed to help smaller businesses connect with major contractors. Adam Davy, Managing Director of Primo Maintenance Services, attended the event to explore potential opportunities with Sandwell Council contractors.

Through networking at the event, Adam engaged with MCP Property Services and successfully navigated their onboarding process. This led to a significant breakthrough—Primo Maintenance Services was awarded its first order of works on a void property in Smethwick. The team completed the project with excellence, demonstrating their expertise and reliability. Now, Primo is well-positioned for further opportunities within MCP’s supply chain.

This success highlights the value of local networking and collaboration, a key focus for Sandwell’s Social Value and Business Growth Team. By creating opportunities for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to engage with larger contractors, these initiatives drive local economic growth, business development, and job creation.

Rosie Hughes, Business Development Manager at MCP, praised the initiative:
“We approached the Sandwell Social Value team earlier in the year, asking if they could help us identify local SMEs to join our supply chain. Within months, the Meet the Buyer event was organised, and we are so grateful for Sandwell creating this platform—it helped us find Primo Maintenance Services.”

This success story is a testament to the positive impact of Sandwell’s business support initiatives, ensuring local businesses can thrive, grow, and contribute to the region.
