“The project team and I are excited about working with them, and the excellent BAM. Ask’s track record in delivering high-quality, innovative and sustainable buildings was key in our decision to appoint them.”

The project is expected to generate job opportunities for around 700 employees and create an estimated 400 construction and supply chain jobs.

BAM North East construction director Tony Fitzgerald said: “The new head office will play a significant role in Home Group’s commitment to reducing its carbon footprint.

“Not only will the building adhere to the latest sustainable practices, but the relocation from North Tyneside to Newcastle City Centre will also reduce the organisation’s environmental impact in other ways.”
