McLaren will start work later this month on a £1.5m refurbishment of a letter sorting office in Warrington, Cheshire.

The four-year framework deal covers new build and refurbishment work on mail centres, delivery offices, regional distribution centres, workshops and depots.

It will be worth £40m-50m a year plus the option of a two-year extension.

McLaren Chairman Kevin Taylor said: "This framework will provide a steady stream of work for us over the next four years at least and is indicative of our strategy of targeting new areas as the construction market continues to evolve."

McLaren was confirmed in September as one of seven contractors to win a place on the four-year framework which covers new build and refurbishment work on mail centres, delivery offices, regional distribution centres, workshops and depots.

Work on the Warrington sorting office is due for completion next spring.
