Contractors appointed to £35.5m hotel project

BAM Construction is to restore Warwickshire’s Studley Castle as part of a £35.5m scheme.

The construction company will work on the Grade II*-listed country house after being selected by building owner Bourne Leisure Hotels.

The house will be linked via a new bedroom block and cabaret space extension to the existing stable block. The new hotel incorporates extensive leisure and cabaret facilities as well as historic rooms in the main house.

Plans for the redevelopment of Studley Castle, Warwickshire

Jon Kiteley, BAM’s construction manager said: “Our team has been working closely with Bourne Leisure and its consultants to develop the design and construction strategy to deliver this landmark project.

“We now have the opportunity to deliver the redevelopment which will see the rejuvenation of this important local landmark, allowing its story to continue towards, and beyond, it’s 200th anniversary.”

Studley Castle will become the 14th hotel in the Bourne Holidays group when it opens to guests during the winter of 2018.
