Williams Tarr are on schedule with the £700k+ fast track enablement project for Liverpool ONE to reconfigure the former Stockton’s furniture store on Hanover Street into 4 new A3/A4 premises.
The scope of works includes full strip out back to shell including removal of escalators, all services and roof top plant, followed by the sub-division of the 3 storey shell to form 4 self-contained restaurant/bar units ready for fit out by the tenants.
Williams Tarr have successfully completed The Foundry, a new 44,400 sq. ft. development of 12 business units situated opposite the historic Ordsall Hall, in Salford.
Located mid-way between Manchester city centre, Media City and Trafford Park, the two blocks of business units have been designed for end users who want flexible and practical business space that looks amazing. The front elevations have attractive brick office facades, and there are separate service yards provided to the rear.
Williams Tarr have successfully completed another fast track project at Croft Retail and Leisure Park, Bromborough to reconfigure two existing units into 3 new units. The two phased project facilitated the relocation of Mothercare and the formation of new stores for H&M Bargains and an M&S Simply Food Store. Work included internal strip out, a new façade and entrance towers, internal sub-division, mezzanine floor, new services, etc.
The tight schedule was achieved in time for Christmas trading. The Employer’s Agent commented:

Williams Tarr have commenced a design and build contract to construct a new Halfords retail store at Riverside Retail Park, Warrington for property investors Warrington Riverside Pradera Limited. The new unit infills space between the existing Homebase & Sports Direct stores on the busy shopping park. Strict site management will be required to maintain the safety of the general public and avoid disruption to the trading of adjoining live retail premises.
Williams Tarr recently hosted a series of site visits to Cooper’s Building for building surveying students from Liverpool John Moores University in collaboration with Project Managers Chris Wilman and Richard Kelly of JLL. The visitors received full safety inductions and were taken on a guided tour of this interesting large scale remediation project.
Williams Tarr are well advanced with major structural repairs to the roof and upper floors of the iconic six storey Cooper’s Building on Church Street, Liverpool’s main pedestrianised shopping area.
Williams Tarr Site Manager Jon Marsden, a keen runner, recently boosted his training routine by entering into the Christmas spirit on the 2015 Liverpool Santa Dash raising funds for Claire House Children’s Hospice.
Well done to Jon on receiving your medal!
Jon was one of over 6,000 people who took part in this year’s Santa Dash event which made a circuit of the city starting from Pier Head. The annual fun run is now in its 12th year and last year held the World title for the most Santa participants.
