Construction firm take on a new name.

A MAJOR construction company has changed its name.

HBG Construction, the firm which built Huddersfield University's striking new creative arts building became BAM Construction yesterday, linking in with its European parent company, Royal BAM Group.

HBG Construction, which has regional headquarters at Birstall and Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, has undertaken a string of developments across Yorkshire.

Projects include new buildings for the schools of education and human and health sciences at Huddersfield University, Leeds Grammar School, Leeds Metropolitan University and Selby College.

Other projects include restoring historic theatre Leeds City Varieties and build offices and stores for clients including BT, ASDA, Tesco and Marks & Spencer.

HBG's facilities management business is to be re-branded as BAMFM. That business manages a range of services for Wharfedale and Doncaster Hospitals, including ground and building maintenance, energy, helpdesk and health and safety.
