Connell Brothers Ltd is set to spearhead the £20 million transformation of Cannock town centre. The award-winning demolition contractor was selected as the preferred contractor to carry out the demolition of Cannock’s multi-storey car park and multiple shopping units.
Connell Brothers Ltd was awarded the demolition project through the Governments National Demolition Framework, Crown Commercial Services. Connell’s fought off more than dozen leading contractors from across the UK for this major development scheme.
The North West based specialist contractor was recognised beyond its demolition expertise for promoting social values within the communities they serve. They champion equality and diversity, prioritise local employment, and actively engage with schools. Additionally, they support local charities and community groups, making a meaningful impact in the areas where they operate.
Councillor Tony Johnson, Leader of Cannock Chase Council, said, “Securing planning permission for the next stages of our Cannock town centre regeneration project is a significant milestone. This project isn’t just about the demolition of old structures, it’s about laying the groundwork for a modern, vibrant town centre that will attract new investment, and create a welcoming environment for residents and visitors alike. We are excited to see work begin and to deliver these positive changes for our community.”
Councillor Maureen Freeman, Portfolio Leader for Regeneration and High Streets, added, “The removal of the multi-storey car park, canopy, and old retail units signals a fresh start for Cannock. These are necessary steps to bring our ambitious vision for the town centre to life. We’re thrilled to be working with Connell Brothers on this project and build a revitalised and accessible town centre for everyone.”
