BAM has had a permanent office in South Wales over 50 years, employing around 70 people and supporting hundreds of sub-contractors each year. It has four schemes on site in the area worth over £60 million, with another £60 million of further work in hand.
The Police and Crime Commissioner for Gwent, Jeff Cuthbert, said: “Building this new headquarters is the most effective, efficient and economical way to ensure Gwent Police is fit for purpose for the future and can continue to deliver a quality service for the people of Gwent. Once completed, the new HQ will serve our residents and Gwent Police officers and staff well for decades to come. The construction project will also have a positive impact on the community and the local economy in terms of the supplies and materials required and the training and employment opportunities which will be generated.”
