Oldham construction firm awarded major projects on both sides of the Pennines

Construction and fit-out specialist Medlock FRB has secured major city centre leisure projects in Manchester and Sheffield.

Medlock has been contracted to fit-out of a new Fazenda restaurant in Manchester, and the conversion of a former bank into a cinema in Sheffield.

The Brazilian-inspired Fazenda steakhouse is due to open next month on The Avenue, Spinningfields.

Two units are being converted into a restaurant with 180 indoor covers and outdoor seating for 50. The venue will create more than 60 jobs.

The project follows a successful 10-week contract undertaken by Medlock last year for a Fazenda restaurant in Exchange Square, Liverpool.

Steve Taylor, head of business development at Medlock, which is based in Oldham, said: “We are delighted to be working with City District Group on another of its Fazenda venues.

“The finished product will be a fantastic addition to Manchester’s vibrant restaurant scene.

“For Medlock, this project further demonstrates our strong growth in city centre restaurant and bar completions, as our expertise as a specialist leisure contractor becomes more widely recognised.”
