SISK has topped out on the redevelopment of Edgbaston Stadium in Birmingham.
The Irish firm, which marked the occasion with members of Warwickshire County Cricket Club this month, is delivering a £42m project at the site.
It includes the development of a new 146-room Radisson RED Hotel and a new 3,200-seater stand at the cricket stadium.

“Every time you come to Edgbaston now, you can see the progress being made and the scale of what we're creating.”
