Metro Building, Salford
BAM Construction – the firm behind the Co-Operative Group’s HQ, Manchester City’s Football Academy and the current 97€m One Spinningfields development – is moving into a building it designed and built a few years ago.
Around 45 of the 140-strong team are re-locating approximately one mile down Trafford Road into the Metro Building at Salford Quays which BAM itself developed, designed, and built in 2008.
BAM’s team will take the 11,000 sq ft on the second floor.
The construction business will be joined by its colleagues from BAM Properties, and BAM FM, who manage the services within the Metro building. Many more BAM employees are based on site.

Steve Byrne, regional director of BAM Construction North West, said: “As relocations go, this has a lot of benefits for us. Firstly, nobody’s journey to work is going to be much different. Our central position won’t change.
"And most beneficially, we’ll be in premises we know well as the Metro Building is a great example of how we can take a building through its entire lifecycle from being merely an idea to running it efficiently.”
BAM has had a dedicated presence in Manchester for several decades and has built a range of diverse and iconic structures across the region including refurbishing the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, Cheshire Constabulary’s HQ and Training Centre in Winsford, Manchester City’s Platt Lane Stand, and the 14-storey tower and grade one listed building known as 82 King Street.
Its clients include the Co-Operative Group, Unilever, BAE Systems, as well as major universities and local authorities.
