Over the past two months, ISG's regional construction business has signed up projects with a combined value circa £100m.

The company is the sole appointee to a £22m capital build framework with Cleveland Fire Authority encompassing the construction of four new local fire stations and a new headquarters for the Fire Authority in Hartlepool.

In South Yorkshire, ISG is constructing a new 110,000 sq ft Tesco Extra store in a circa £19m town centre regeneration project in Rotherham. ISG is also delivering a new retail and leisure destination in Swindon, with the £16.5m construction contract to build the new Regent Circus outlet, which

incorporates a six-screen Cineworld Cinema, a 50,000 sq ft Morrisons supermarket and eight restaurant units. In London, ISG has secured a circa £9m commercial office scheme for Amsprop Investments, extensively remodelling and fitting out the octagonal No. 5 Cheapside building, which

overlooks St Paul's Cathedral.

Additionally, in Portsmouth, ISG is underway with a £16m redevelopment of the New Theatre Royal – significantly increasing capacity and providing new learning facilities for University of Portsmouth students. The influential North West Construction Hub (NWCH) public sector framework continues to

generate a strong pipeline of opportunities, with ISG taking over £7m of projects in Lancashire alone, including a 'Youth Zone' centre in Burnley and an extension at Westgate Primary School in Morecambe.
