The opening comes as the firm starts work at the MA5 data centre project in the city to deliver MEP infrastructure and civil, structural and architectural works

The new office will allow Gratte to target work in Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, and other key northern hubs with a focus on the data centre market alongside infrastructure and general contracting opportunities.

The firm also has operations in London, Warrington, Stevenage, Chelmsford, Worthing and Belfast.

Remi Suzan, Managing Director, Gratte Brothers Limited said: “Establishing our Manchester office is a significant milestone for the business.

“While Gratte Brothers Group has a strong track record of delivering projects across the North and already operates from our Warrington office, this represents GBL’s first dedicated presence outside of London and the Southeast and, reinforces our commitment to bringing Gratte Brothers’ quality and expertise to the built environment in the North of England.”

Joe Bradley, Operations Director, Gratte Brothers Limited added: “Bringing Gratte Brothers Limited’s quality to the North has been in the pipeline for some time now and is an exciting next step for the business.

“With significant opportunities across the region, we are confident that our expertise and collaborative approach, partnered with the adept local supply chain, will be a welcome addition to the local construction industry.”
