QUANTITY surveyor Cooper & Hall is the latest business to join an award-winning organisation working at the heart of the region’s construction industry.

The company, based at Pannal Business Park in Harrogate, has become the 60th company to sign up to Construction Yorkshire, which works with both public and private-sector developments.

Construction Yorkshire introduces businesses and their services to the major players in Yorkshire’s construction industry and devises meaningful social strategies to help local people benefit work-wise from developments in their area.

Since launching in March 2011, it has attracted 60 members, from sole traders to big names, including BAM and Balfour Beatty.

Phil Cooper, director of Cooper & Hall, said: “Construction Yorkshire has a great deal to offer members and we aim to take to full advantage of their skills.

“Our expertise is quantity surveying, and, with the help of the Construction Yorkshire team, we hope to be able to be introduced to those companies looking for our specialist services.

“Having the Construction Yorkshire team on hand will also come in particularly useful when we are preparing our prequalification applications and tenders.”
