Developer Mansell Building Solutions has opened a Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) Centre in Oldham, enabling faster housing delivery in the area. The launch was marked by a visit from Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham and Aisling McCourt, Greater Manchester Combined Authority’s (GMCA) head of housing growth and net zero. Andy Burnham, Mayor of Greater Manchester, said: “We want everyone in Greater Manchester to have a good, warm, safe place they can call home – and we’re focused on delivering the thousands of new homes that our city region needs. “Building homes also means creating new opportunities for good, skilled jobs across our towns and cities, and clear pathways into construction for young people. “When you can build homes and create those opportunities at the same time – that’s what good growth looks like for Greater Manchester.”Mansell is the only MMC manufacturer based in Greater Manchester.
