Collinson Construction has become Collinson Tensile because its work is increasingly specialised in the erection of steel frame fabric buildings, as the sole UK and Ireland representative of Best-Hall, a manufacturer in Finland.

The name change reflects the company’s move away from general construction projects to focusing exclusively on tensile membrane construction.

Director Dan Collinson said:  “This rebrand is a significant milestone for us as we continue to concentrate on delivering high-quality tensile structures across the UK and Ireland. By focusing exclusively on this niche market, we can offer unparalleled expertise and superior solutions for our clients.”

The company’s portfolio of projects includes the construction of indoor training facilities for Crystal Palace Football Club, AFC Bournemouth and Bristol Bears Rugby Football Club.

Its tensile structures are also used in industrial applications, including storage, warehouses and aircraft hangars.

Updated:

Following the 2024 rebrand, the business subsequently restructured its operations to create a clearer separation between its specialist tensile activities and traditional contracting work.

Collinson Tensile Ltd has been renamed Collcon Projects Ltd, with the company refocusing on traditional contracting activities.

The Collinson Tensile brand and all new tensile projects are now undertaken by Collinson Besthall Ltd, trading as Collinson Tensile, which is the UK representative of Finnish tensile building manufacturer Best-Hall.
