BAM reaches major milestone at Seaton Valley super school in Northumberland.

BAM was joined on site by Northumberland County Council, representatives from the school and local students. Tony Fitzgerald, Construction Director at BAM, described the learning opportunities being provided for students through the build: “We’re working closely with local schools to provide fantastic learning opportunities, centred in real-world construction and engineering.
