Great to see Wigan making a strong impact at this year’s MIPIM! 👏🏽 With the foundations in place for large-scale development, now is the time for delivery. Aidan Thatcher, Wigan Council’s director of place, highlights the borough’s ambitious plans—including the transformation of the Galleries, the Eckersley Mill redevelopment, the Northfold growth zone, and the station gateway project. Exciting times for Wigan as it cements its place as a prime investment destination in Greater Manchester! #MIPIM #Wigan #Investment #Regeneration https://lnkd.in/e9wzfScF

Last night was a night to remember as we won the 'Urban City Living Developer of the year' at the Insider Media Residential Property Awards 2025. 🎉 To say we are delighted is an understatement. A huge thankyou to all of our colleagues and partners, we couldn't have achieved this without you 👏🏽👏🏽

A great end to the week as we announce that we have selected Oak Construction Projects LTD to deliver the first of three residential buildings at Stopford Park, Stockport 👏🏽 Development Director Greg Ball commented: “2025 will be an exciting year as we start to see the first of these new homes come forward for sale in the heart of Stockport which has undergone such an incredible transformation in recent years. “Stopford Park is a new place for a community to live, work and socialise. We are building high quality homes and flex workspace, all connected by new landscaped gardens and art park for all to enjoy.” Thanks to Place North West read more ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/e3wRzsWn

On Christmas Eve our assistant development director Anika Day joined Chris Hextall from MM Management Services and over 80 volunteers at Greenmount Projects offices to pack Christmas gifts into 34 vans and cars, ready to be delivered to more than 300 families across Wigan. Each family received a festive package containing: 🎁An assortment of toys for each child in the household and selection boxes, with the gifts generously donated by The Brick, Daffodils Dreams C.I.C., and their supporters, alongside contributions from local businesses and institutions across Wigan. 🧺A food hamper, packed and donated by Compassion in Action. 💷 A money voucher to help with winter essentials, kindly provided by Wigan Council. It was an incredibly inspiring and humbling event to be involved in, well done to everyone involved in this fantastic project.

Many thanks to Project Director, Alec Bailey of Galliford Try who led our Civil Engineering Lecturer, Martin Gilmore and Employer Engagement Officer, Martin Banks on a tour of the Wigan Galleries site this week.   This followed an initial discussion around potential dates in the New Year where the opportunity for some exciting work placements could arise for some of our T level learners who are very interested in the development.   After providing an overview of the project; where they’re up to and what stages are next, we will now work together to get the Galliford Try team in to do a guest lecture focusing on career pathways within the industry and to potentially select our learners for future work placements, which would provide a fantastic learning experience.   #socialvalue #construction #civilengineering Wigan Council Cityheart Hannah W.
