Henry Boot’s construction business has been picked to deliver the £36m redevelopment of Rotherham Markets and an adjacent new library, part of the wider Rotherham town centre masterplan.
The project includes a new food hall and dining area as well as workspace for charities, social enterprises and voluntary groups. A new library will include a café, meeting rooms and flexible gallery space.
Tim Roberts, chief executive at Henry Boot, said: “The Rotherham Markets is an important and significant local redevelopment and the fact that we have won this project is testament to the strength of our construction business and its track record of high-quality delivery, having led on major urban regeneration projects in Barnsley and Sheffield over recent years.
“In what is a challenging market for the sector, this latest contract means that we have now secured over 60% of our order book for 2024 and continue to work hard to grow our pipeline in our target markets.”
Andrew Bramidge, interim strategic director for regeneration and environment at Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council, said Henry Boot Construction “will help breathe life into our detailed plans for this key location and produce an impressive new venue for present and future generations to enjoy”.
