BAM Construction has been named as the preferred contractor for the construction of the new Co-Operative Group HQ in Manchester.

The £100 million project will see the delivery of 325,000 sq ft of new, grade A office design space for the UK retailer.

It is to be built on a 20-acre site at the edge of Miller Street and Corporation Street, the Manchester Evening News reports.

Steve Byrne, director of BAM in the north-west, said: "This is a hugely impressive project not only in design, construction techniques and the expertise it demands of us, but also for how it will contribute to the community and economy around it."

Co-Operative Group offers services ranging from groceries and financial services to travel, online shopping and healthcare.

It prides itself on having a responsible and sustainable outlook on its business ventures and the firm runs a range of schemes to help inspire young people here in the UK, while also aiding those in need in foreign countries.
