Construction firm gets to work on £4m West Yorkshire school build

The Yorkshire office of Bardsley Construction has been appointed by Calderdale Council to deliver a £4m English and Humanities Faculty building at Todmorden High School.

The £65m turnover family-owned firm will design and construct a two-storey steel frame building to house the faculty, along with the provision of a replacement multi-use games area and additional car parking.

Rick Smeaton, Bardsley regional manager in Yorkshire, said: “This prestigious contract with Calderdale Council provides the Yorkshire region office of Bardsley with a further opportunity to enhance our well-earned reputation for the delivery of high quality and bespoke educational facilities, adding to our growing portfolio of construction projects across Yorkshire, the North West of England and the Midlands.”
