Crane survey: Education dominates NW city skylines

Half year reviewHalf of the cranes on Liverpool and Manchester's buildings sites are employed on education projects, making the sector the highest profile building client in the region.

The survey is one part of our Half Year Review published today in association with Hill Dickinson, The Co-operative Bank, Morris & Spottiswood and Emplacement.
