Citygate

Laing O鈥橰ourke is to open a new office in Manchester next month as part of what it calls its 鈥渃ommitment to the north and north west鈥.

The firm will transfer from its Birley Fields site to the new office in City Gate, which will officially open on 2 October.

Laing O鈥橰ourke鈥檚 northern director Tom Higgins said around 100 staff would relocate to the new site, which would also serve as a corporate hub for the multiple local project teams, including the team working on the Manchester Airport Transformation scheme.

鈥淲e have a strong order book, with an outstanding pipeline of future projects.

鈥淥ur new office provides us with a strong base to support hundreds of people in the field every day, delivering certainty for our clients,鈥 he added.
