Carillion is progressing well on its conversion of Sunderland’s former Vaux brewery site to a five-storey office block, with steelwork to the initial bays now complete.
Construction of the 60,000 sq ft office building is part of the contractor’s Siglion joint venture with Sunderland City Council and Igloo Regeneration, which is carrying out a 20-year programme to transform much of the city.
Eddie Tribe, Carillion’s operations director, said: “It’s great to start work on this iconic site. Our work will create jobs and opportunities for local businesses. We have agreed a target to achieve 60% of spend with local suppliers and aim to employ 16 apprentices throughout the construction programme, with further opportunities within our supply chain for employment for local people.”
