Morgan Sindall Construction will create more jobs as part of plans to grow its presence across Yorkshire and the North East.

The construction firm has launched a strategy that will see it target commercial, public sector, and mixed-use regeneration projects across the region to fuel its growth.

The company has already hired 20 professionals as part of its recruitment drive but is now looking to recruit another 20 during 2021.

The new staff will work at Morgan Sindall Construction's Wakefield office and will be focussed on supporting project partners from across the public and private sectors.

Andy Hall, managing director for Morgan Sindall Construction in Yorkshire and the North East, said: “Over recent years we’ve delivered landmark projects in our region such as Leeds Skelton Lake Services and the Barbara Hepworth Building at the University of Huddersfield. We now want to build upon our experience on those projects and undertake a greater range of schemes and developments across the region.

"As a contractor we deliver valuable outcomes not just in terms of the schemes themselves, but also in our work creating employment and educational opportunities for local people."

Mr Hall added: “From public-private partnership regeneration projects to new arenas, technology hubs, university buildings and residential developments, future construction projects are going to be instrumental in supporting the short and long-term recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. We’re determined to be part of that work, and will be supported in doing so by our current recruitment drive.

"We have exceptional people at Morgan Sindall Construction, and we look forward to welcoming more members of the team that will help us fulfill our vision for our work across Yorkshire and the North East.”
