Quartz Electrical & Mechanical Services Ltd (Quartz) has confirmed a significant project win, securing the Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MEP) contract for the new Cramlington Crematorium build, after being successfully appointed by main contractor T. Manners & Sons Ltd. The development, commissioned by Westerleigh Group, received planning approval from Northumberland County Council and is set to introduce a modern crematorium facility on Arcot Lane, near Arcot Hall Golf Club that includes landscaping, parking, memorial gardens and community spaces.
In a LinkedIn announcement celebrating the success, Quartz highlighted that this appointment marks its third crematorium project, underscoring the company’s growing expertise in complex, sensitive sectors. The post emphasised the hard work of its estimating team in winning the tender and flagged that Quartz will collaborate closely with the client and wider supply chain to deliver the MEP package. This repeated selection for crematorium work reflects deepening trust and proven capability in specialised building services delivery.
Quartz has established itself as a major player in the UK construction services market, with over 25 years’ experience in delivering electrical and mechanical engineering solutions across industrial, commercial and residential sectors. The firm’s profile highlights a strong track record of design, installation and maintenance services backed by industry accreditations and a long-standing workforce, positioning it well for high-profile builds such as the Cramlington project.
The Cramlington Crematorium, intended to expand local capacity and meet community needs as identified in planning assessments, will be the closest such facility for around 130,000 residents, and its development is a key infrastructure addition for the region.
For Quartz, this project not only enhances its portfolio in a niche and meaningful segment of construction but also reinforces its reputation as a trusted MEP contractor capable of delivering on technically demanding and socially important builds.
