George Osborne’s rejuvenation of ‘Northern Powerhouse’ proposal garnered a lot of praise from the business and construction worlds when he announced new measures back in 2015 during the coalition government.
Regardless of your political persuasion, it’s easy to see that interest has increased in construction projects North of Birmingham in cities like Liverpool and Manchester.
It’s been very literal for us as our business grows in the Northern regions. You only have to visit our northern HQ nestled in the heart of Manchester City Centre to see the wealth of new construction projects interspersed between the city’s more historical architecture.
Of course, the recent increase in construction activity is largely due to the ambitious infrastructure plans for the North West and other Northern regions.
The HS2 scheme will make the North more accessible via London and Birmingham, as well as the huge road tunnel planned between Manchester and Sheffield, halving commute times between the two cities.
This project is noteworthy as it would become, if it was built, the largest road tunnel in the world!
Of course, industry in Manchester has seen a large increase in jobs due to the relocation of the BBC as well as many large multi-national companies opening up premises in the city.
Situated on King Street, the McGinley CEP North office is the perfect base for a construction recruitment company as ambitious as we are.
Our consultants are able to host candidates and clients alike, whilst attending site visits that are situated within minutes of our front door!
So if you’re a Manchester based construction professional, and are free for a coffee, why not pop in and see us?
