New site in City Gate will provide a β€˜strong base’ for firm

Citygate

Laing O’Rourke is to open a new office in Manchester next month as part of what it calls its β€œcommitment to the north and north west”.

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’Rourke’s 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.

β€œWe have a strong order book, with an outstanding pipeline of future projects.

β€œOur new office provides us with a strong base to support hundreds of people in the field every day, delivering certainty for our clients,” he added.
