Lendlease has won the deal to refurbish Manchester’s Town Hall, as part of a £330m project.
The building, which is 140 years old, will be repaired and brought up to modern access, safety and energy standards, before reopening in 2024.

Its appointment comes after Mace won the role as project manager to refurbish the Grade-I listed building, which was designed in the 1860s by Alfred Waterhouse and is renowned for its craftsmanship and architectural quality.
