TOOMEBRIDGE firm Creagh Concrete has won a £5 million contract to build a new library near London.
The company said the deal was the first "in a series of new contracts" expected this year.
It will build the library at University of Roehampton with work due to begin in April.
Creagh will construct an architecturally exposed concrete frame with brick-faced precast panel façade.
Around 80 per cent of the firm's work is now in Britain.
The company's managing director Seamus McKeague said the firm was "entering 2016 in confident mood".
"We’ve been involved in a previous similar project with the architect, Feilden Clegg Bradley, on the new Manchester Metropolitan University Student Union building, and look forward to continuing our excellent relationship with them," he said.
"We’re also pleased to be working with contractor Geoffrey Osborne, with whom we are forging a great working relationship. We hope to make more significant announcements in the coming weeks and months as Creagh Concrete develops its range of contracts and expertise.”
Among Creagh's other contracts in Britain are a £2.1m car park in Leeds and a £1m school in London.
The firm is also working on a £3m flooring scheme at the new Ulster University campus in Belfast.
The company said it planned to "invest considerably" across its sites in the next five years with plans for further job creation.
Creagh said last year was its most successful since 2008 and saw it create 100 new jobs, which it said brought staff levels to 650.
The firm's company's core product range is precast structural products and prestressed flooring, with a range of flooring systems designed for commercial or residential applications.
