('Henry
Boot' or 'the Company')
HENRY BOOT WINS CONTRACT TO
DELIVER £36 MILLION ROTHERHAM MARKETS
REDEVELOPMENT
Henry Boot PLC has announced that its construction business
has been appointed by Rotherham Council to deliver the £36m
redevelopment of Rotherham Markets and an adjacent new
library, forming a key part of the wider
town centre masterplan.
The project comprises a major
refurbishment and redevelopment of the existing indoor and outdoor
Rotherham Markets. This will include creating a vibrant new food
hall and dining area on the first level above the existing ground
floor retail, in addition to new workspace for charities, social
enterprises and voluntary groups on the second floor.
While the refurbished adjoining
outdoor market will continue to be used predominantly as a market
for local traders, it will also be redeveloped for use as a
multi-functional space to host exhibitions and community events. A
new library will also be built to offer a café, meeting rooms and
flexible gallery space.
As part of Henry Boot Construction's
objective to make a positive impact in the region, the business has
committed to deliver significant social value, employing local
subcontractors, creating jobs and delivering training initiatives
during construction.
The contract was procured and
awarded to Henry Boot Construction through the Crown Commercial
Services' (CCS) Construction Works and Associated Services
framework.
Tim
Roberts, CEO of Henry Boot, commented: "The Rotherham Markets is an important and significant local
redevelopment and the fact that we have won this project is
testament to the strength of our construction business and its
track record of high-quality delivery, having led on major urban
regeneration projects in Barnsley and Sheffield over recent years.
In what is a challenging market for the sector, this latest
contract means that we have now secured over 60% of our order book
for 2024 and continue to work hard to grow our pipeline in
our target
markets."
Andrew Bramidge, Interim Strategic Director for Regeneration
& Environment Rotherham Metropolitan
Borough Council, said: "We're
delighted to secure Henry Boot Construction as our partner in
delivering this latest regeneration project in our historic town
centre. Their building expertise will help breathe life into our
detailed plans for this key location and produce an impressive new
venue for present and future generations to enjoy."
