The Building North East and Yorkshire business of Galliford Try has delivered a new £12.3m ($16.44m) facility, the Energy Central Learning Hub, in Blyth, UK. 

The development was commissioned by a collaboration that included the Port of Blyth, Northumberland County Council, and the Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult. 

The hub is set to develop a talent pipeline to meet the needs of the region's green energy industry. 

It is also a part of the broader Energy Central regeneration scheme in the region. 

This scheme aims to establish a growth cluster for businesses in the offshore energy, subsea, decommissioning, battery manufacturing, and renewable energy markets.  

The new facility encompasses a clean energy-focused visitor centre, providing training and employment opportunities for the local community. 

Galliford Try Building North East and Yorkshire business managing director Cliff Wheatley said: “We are proud to have delivered such an important project for the Blyth community and the wider Northumberland area.  

“The hub will serve as a cornerstone for green energy training and development, and we look forward to seeing its impact in the years to come.” 

Galliford Try's Infrastructure division has also secured a contract with Buckinghamshire Council.  

The contract, valued at £88.9m, is for the construction of the South East Aylesbury Link Road (SEALR).  

The SEALR project will involve building 1.1 miles of dual carriageway, including three new roundabout junctions. 

It will also connect the A413 Wendover Road with the Stoke Mandeville Relief Road, aiming to alleviate congestion in the town centre. 

Galliford Try chief executive Bill Hocking said: “The local authority sector is a key focus for our Infrastructure business, and we have strong track record in constructing major link roads throughout the country.  

“We look forward to working with Buckinghamshire Council to deliver the high-quality infrastructure that will make a real difference to the local community.”
