Sky-high showing for Bam as it tops September table

摘要

Royal Bam topped the league table for September as total orders rose again. Big jobs in the leisure and entertainment sectors helped to propel the group to the top of the league with £469.7m of new work secured. The largest of these was a £230m contract to build a new studio for Sky at its site in Elstree, Hertfordshire (pictured), which Legal & General is part funding. Bam also picked up a £150m contract for a new arena in Manchester, which will be known as Coop Live. The office market has been much maligned since the COVID-19 pandemic struck, with changes in working patterns raising questions about how much new office space will be needed. However, a raft of awards in September showed that clients are still keen to press on with high-end projects.
