Marston’s reveals plans for HQ redevelopment

PLANS to rebuild the headquarters of Marston’s brewery in Wolverhampton have been revealed.

The existing 1960s Chapel Ash office block will be demolished and rebuilt from under the multimillion-pound scheme.

Work will start early next year.

About 500 people at the offices are expected to spend a year in the nearby Coniston House during redevelopment work under the proposals.

Marston’s said it had submitted plans to Wolverhampton City Council.

Chief executive officer Ralph Findlay said: “We have been based on this site in Wolverhampton for nearly 140 years and are very proud of our heritage in the city.

“We are aware of our role as a prominent local employer and are keen to bring a development of this scale to the city.”
