Galliford Try scoops £120m NEC deal
Construction company Galliford Try has been selected as preferred bidder for the £120m Resorts World complex at the NEC.
The London-based construction company has been selected for the contract, which is valued at £80m and will include a casino, a four star hotel and suites, a spa, and conference and banqueting facilities.
A retail outlet centre, a multi-screen cinema, food and beverage outlets and car parking will also be built through the contract.
Work on the scheme is set to begin on-site during the first quarter of 2012 with completion expected during the first quarter of March 2014.
Galliford Try's chief executive Greg Fitzgerald said: "We are delighted to be selected as preferred bidder by Genting UK for what will be one of the most significant leisure and entertainment developments to be built in the UK in recent years.
"We have a proven ability to deliver multiple mixed-use developments on a large scale, and this project will provide a tremendous addition to our growing portfolio in the commercial sector."
Galliford Try also completed the new stand at Warwickshire County Cricket Club earlier this year.
