The regeneration company behind the £1bn regeneration of Barking town centre in East London has unveiled the full line-up of main contractors it plans to use.

Today Be First revealed that McLaren Construction, Willmott Dixon and Wates have secured places on lot 2 to deliver projects worth over £10m.

They complement four other partners who were selected at the end of last year to deliver smaller projects up to £20m from the 44 pipeline of projects in the area.
