A “Meet the Buyer” style event for the construction sector for the developments at Victoria Park and Omega South is being organised by Warrington & Co.
The event is to be held at the Platinum Suite and Omega Lounge at the Halliwell Jones Stadium next Tuesday (January 27) from 8am until 11am.
Warrington & Co. is extending an open invitation to all main contractors, sub-contractors and suppliers in the area to attend the event and find out more about business opportunities for a number of large scale development projects within Warrington, including:
•Victoria Park: Buckingham Group is the main contractor for the £4.4 million Victoria Park scheme that will incorporate a new community hub and sports facility, sports pitches, drainage and car parking.
•Omega south: Bowmer & Kirkland is appointed main contractor for two new industrial schemes that are to commence shortly on Omega south. A 685,000 sq. ft. of logistics development for The Hut Group, and a 240,000 sq. ft industrial unit for a French manufacturer, both will be operational early 2016. The two schemes have a contract value circa £35 million.
•Skyline Drive: D Morgan is working on Phase 2 Skyline Drive, the new link road to open future development plots on Omega South. Warrington Borough Council is providing Omega Warrington Ltd (OWL) with a £7.5 million loan to facilitate the construction of Skyline Drive and associated infrastructure.
Businesses of all construction disciplines are invited to register for the event, where they can meet Buckingham Group, Bowmer & Kirkland, and D Morgan, who will be present to answer project-specific questions and to offer advice on their specific requirements.
