HARROGATE construction company HACS Group has won the contract to complete ground works for a major investment in a school’s sporting facilities.

Independent school Ashville College, in Harrogate, is investing £750,000 on a new synthetic all-weather pitch, which will be completed ahead of the new academic year in September.

The HACS team will move more than 14,000 tonnes of earth to ensure there is a level platform for the pitch to be laid on and will improve the drainage, create access paths and landscape the area.
