Equans said that among the stakeholders that it had consulted for input for its plans were local taxi drivers.

Tim Wood, regional managing director at Equans UK & Ireland (North West), said: “We have been working on the project for around 18 months with the various stakeholders, and have integrated ourselves into the client’s team, enabling us to increase the overall capacity of the building, while also increasing the efficiency and viability of the project.”
