Construction Partnership UK (CPUK) has been appointed by property giant Peel Holdings to deliver a major redevelopment of Whitebirk Retail Park near Blackburn.
The £1.7m contract to construct 10,000 sq ft of new retail space at the out-of-town shopping centre is the latest in a number of major retail developments CPUK has secured in recent months.
It is the latest in a number of projects Skelmersdale-Lancashire based CPUK has carried out for Peel Holdings, including work at its Media City in Salford.
Steve Burke, CPUK managing director, said: “We are delighted to be once again working for Peel Holdings on another of its development projects in the North West. We have just completed a contract to create retail units for the group at Media City, delivering on time and to budget.
He added: “The Whitebirk Retail Park contract is one of a number of good-sized retail projects we have been appointed to in recent months, which is encouraging both for ourselves and the economy in general. There does seem to be good news developing in the retail park sector, with the refurbishment and extension of a number of existing sites across the North West. We are working hard with developers to keep costs down and provide real value for money through our construction methods and programme times.” CPUK is also currently working on two major retail development projects in Cumbria worth more than £6.5m.
