Northern Powerhouse Minister, MP, said:
It’s wonderful to see how the Northern Powerhouse is
driving investment in the North West and helping grow
the construction industry to the tune of over £600
million.
Anyone visiting the North West can see the huge
number of construction projects underway and these
figures show just how valuable they are.
This construction boom is helping build new homes,
new infrastructure and a stronger economy in the
region.
