Plans in for £31m project to build UK's lowest carbon offices Formal plans have been submitted to build what could be the UK's lowest carbon office building in Greater Manchester. Bruntwood Works is behind the £31m plans for The EV0 Building on land at Didsbury Technology Park. The proposals were first revealed in May and would include space for around 955 employees. At the time, it was expected that construction could start in January 2023 if Manchester City Council approved the scheme and be completed in April 2024. However, that estimation has now been put back to the summer, with the completion date pencilled in for autumn 2024. If backed, the building will include 82,000 sq ft of office space across six floors and sit between the Sir William Siemens House, Spire Hospital and Bruntwood Works' Ohm Building.

Sales fall £100m back to pre-Covid levels at major PPE supplier as pandemic eases The end of the Covid-19 pandemic's height led to a near £100m drop in turnover at a provider of PPE to frontline workers, it has been revealed. Woolston-based Crest Medical enjoyed a spike in its turnover from £50.7m to £150.7m in the 12 months to March 31, 2021, as the pandemic hit the UK.
